Thanks everyone.

Sorry I didn't clarify, I have the S with 6 speed, should have mentioned that. So much is the same with the 2 cars that I rarely differentiate, but of course the drivetrain is different.

Good point running lower profile tyres, unfortunately I replaced them about 3 weeks ago with the stock 265/35 18 rear and 225/45 18 front.

I was hoping to find an entire differential geared shorter to just exchange with the old one. If it came in a clutch-type lsd even better. I agree that getting in there and changing gears will be very expensive and risky if it is not done correctly.

The way I see it I am not racing in a Cup car or the likes where the ratio needs to be perfectly suited to a track, just something a little shorter to give the car some more pep around town.

I will keep googling and see what I find. Will post any worthwhile results.
