3.15:1 and 3.25:1, you can also find these ratios in chrome bumpered 323's with the dogleg gearbox dude.

I have both here, plus a 2.89 from an E34 in the E30 casing.

edit: Demlotcrew had one for sale pre christmas, was brand new iirc..... worth a gander ??

Thanks Ant. its just that i spotted an e3 m3 lsd on Pistonheads and wondered if the ratio was better suited to the M30 conversion. Already have an e30 3.64 lsd which seems to be a better option anyway.
The one on p/heads is going for £175 if anyones interested.

Large case E28 diff won't fit, it's about twice the size on typ188-diff which is the big e30 diff.
