Getting the diff done in the next few weeks guys as Ive been priced very reasonable money.

Option one is: removing your diff from the car, fitting new clutches, replaceing the oil seals, and re-fitting it with new oil... 250euro (about 170 sterling)

Option two is: uprate the locking factor of the diff (basicly double the amount of clutches in it, so it would be a lot tighter than the standard one)... 450 euro (about 310 sterling)

Do people think the second option is worth paying the premium for? Wouldnt be one for going mad in the sport as my rear tyres are setting me back a nice amount and I'm way too lazy to get out the jack and put back on the BBS wheels!
