Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted May 10, 2010 Small and Medium are your options in an E30, either will do in 99% of cases, if going for a lot of power probably medium is better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2010 also you dont really find lsd's in small case diffs. and yes if you are going for lots of power or abuse then med case is the way to go, the spider gears in small cases break easily... ask me how i know...
