Default broke my diff!!

alright i have a 96 z28 A4 i broke the diff on it. and just to add a little side story to this.after i broke it i had it sitting behind a shop i used to work for gettin ready to go up on the lift to fix it. well i got a picture message on my phone one day someone broke my driver side window stole my cd player which had no face plate on it broke the dash piece that held the cd player in riped my center colsole off and stole my set of polished ZR1 wheels that had nitto nt555r radails on the back and left the car sitting on the frame no blocks or anything. alright well back to my question im in the procces of fixing everything now and had some questions or need some input on which direction i should go. im broke and am not considering at all to go with a 9 inch or a 12 bolt and am just gonna build the 10 inch some what. the ring gear looked fine and is a 3.23 gear and i am considering goin to a 3.73 the car is daily driven not really tracked to much but i like to go every now and then. ive had alot of people tell me to go with a zexel torsion diff and put a set of mosier axles to beef it up some. what way should i go and where is the best place to buy the axles gears and the diff?should i stay with the 3.23 or go with a 3.73? thanks alot for your help

Save your money and don't buy the axles.

Check around your area and see if you can find a slightly used stock 10 bolt and get your car back on the road.... I bought a spare 3.42 10 bolt for $200... they are out there! and an easy do it yourself swap..no need to setup gears.
