Hey all, does anyone know for sure if the WRX STI 3.9 R180 LSD is the same as the C210 R180 open center, meaning a straight bolt up. There is one on ebay for $1000 and I'm wanting to buy one real soon. If not what is the next option ( easiest). Cheers

you may be able to fit the lsd carrier to your crown wheel and pinion. but it will depend on bolt sizes. but as previously stated, check the usa forums.

ps Cameron... saw your missus driving from ipswich to morooka yesterday... she went past as i was leaving my driveway.....felt like i was staking her cause i went just one street past where she turned off. :) nice car once again...

reminds me of my old orange one......mmm

hehe that's cool. Saturday you mean though right?? i was in the car too but was passed out in the front seat lol.

it sounds like you're ready to buy a C210 again mate. do it.

question: how much better is the Sooby diff compared to the r200? is it worth the hassle and price?

Thanks Drew for hooking me up with the extortionist (joke), I now have a R200 LSD on it's way to me Yahoo!! I could also be buying a turbo supra box and housing tonight to put away for the V8 conversion ( it's over there in the distance) but it's getting closer. Got to sell my motor, $2500 bloody bargain. Interested anyone?

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
