    Just the internals and doing all the work myself though. Used a 3.15 I had already. Still lusting after a set of 3.23 gears though!

    I have a spare 3.15 diff lying around, replacing the internals could be an option! although I have no idea how to reset lash nothing a youtube vid can't fix.

    I got ridiculously lucky and scored a good used LS centre for $350, but it was very much Jonny on the spot!

    Swapped the internals and reset lash etc myself, still spent over $700 by the time I redid the friction discs, oil etc. Would have cost more if I had to buy the dial gauges instead of borrowing them.

    Major downside with large case diffs is the extra parasitic loss from using the larger final drive. Far better to stay with the 180mm unless you're planning on running over 450hp through it.

    Auto or manual?

    It's a manual and nah don't plan on going over 450hp, Just want to make it handle very well. $700 for a rebuilt lsd is still pretty good.

    Yup, and it's large case (210mm) type too. Will go into other E36s IF you have the right diff carrier and half shafts. Not 100% sure but I wouldn't be surprised if you needed a slightly shorter driveshaft too as the snout lengths are different. Definitely not plug and play.

    Edit: To OP, Geoff often has them available, also try SilverFox as he is known to bring them in from the US from time to time. No idea if he has any at the moment. HellBM, Brent, Mosen, SD European are all worth a try too, but it probably won't be the cheapest of exercises. Good luck!

    Cheers for that. They are a bit more than I had expected will need to save a few more $$$ before going down the lsd road. I has hoping for second hand ones to be around $500 haha.
