Best diff for b32

[e30s50b30]

Hi fellas , I used a 3.64 diff in my last bodied set up I now have the car taken apart and is being done proper by a fellow zoned ( a good man ) .

My dilemma is the 3.64 diff has high revs and I was not happy with the top speed , acceleration was like a demon though ! I tried to find a 3.25 diff and am still trying . I'm looking at a 2.93 as a possibility any pointers ? I'm only going to use the car on the road no track time , which diff can give normal revs apart from the 3.25 e30 one ? What price range too ?

Thanks

What gearbox you running - 3.0ltr 5spd or 3.2ltr 6spd?

I'm running the 3.0l one from my old m3

A 3.15 diff from a Z3M would be ideal for road use. I ran one on my 3.0ltr 5spd, still pulled quick but was more civilised on the motorway etc.

You will notice a real drop in acceleration compared to the 3.64 diff, but it will rev lower at speed.
