Good investment? I ran across a deal for three rear diffs part number 15793756 (06-07 version)for cheap, with 5 to 6 hours of use. The catch is they were used on the Pontiac Soltice drift car and the gearing is 3.37,4.11,and 4.11. So how good a deal is this really? How much does it cost to change gearing? Should I keep one at 4.11, maybe I can try that at the strip, and change the other two for standard 3.73's? There is no leaks or whining from them either, but I'm pretty sure they were pretty beat since they were used for their drift team. What are your thoughts?

I don't think a few hours of drifting would hurt the diffs. It is hard launching and wheel hop that deforms the case. Drifting shouldn't do that. I'd be curious to see what a v1 can do at the strip with 4.11s... provided you can get traction and have a wheel hop fix.

How much is "cheap" ?
I'd ask for a pic of the case and the gears themselves. Why do they have two sets of 4.11's?
You wouldn't want to keep switching back and forth since you'll have to drop the diff everytime. It would be better to use one and leave it in, and sell the other.
