i went with an auburn unit after my zexel unit blew up.



theyre supposed to be better but i doubt theyll last long under a major amount of power with a stock rear.


i bought mine used for $250 so $300 new is a good price.

Yes it fits in nicely, you'll just have to buy a shim kit and replace the carrier bearings, another tip. Make sure you check the backlash before you remove the factory torsen out. Otherwise you may get a little howl if you don't get the backlash set the same. I did the exact same thing to my car when my torsen took a ****. Auburn has instructions on their website for install, and you need to fill it up with different rear lube than what the torsen took, thats also in the install guide. Good luck
