3.73 is probably the best with a sport box.

what do u want a diff to give u a good top speed or acceleration? i'm afraid we cannot have both!
But as Sal says 3.73 is the best of both worlds.
Unless u go looking for E28 diffs and putting the Crown and pinion in an E30 casing as they fit
Been watching 5th gear with the 200mph sierra last nite?!

unfortunatly si i do want the best of both, accel and top end, so from the sound of thing's i'll be looking for a 3.73, as i cant be hassled to be opening diffs up and swaping bits over, yes i am just lazy, so i just want to slap one straight in to place, mines starting to whine on a bit, wey it's quite loud, so insted of buying some mollyslip id rather just change the thing, as im sure it's from a 2.0 anyway
and yeah the 200mph siera looked quite good, sort of, hmmm wonder if the E30 could do it

3.64, no contest
best of all worlds, very nice when combined with the CR sport box.
