I was interested by what they wrote about the material for the differential housing (first i had seen with specifics), and their opinions of the improved brakes.

 

improved brakes?! they just changed pads and minor change to proportioning.

You could do this yourself w/ new brake pads.

Intresting about the new ABS tho, I wonder if its lighter.

I'm already running th 04 housing on the diff.

 

KRAZIK how much better is the 04 diff? Also do you think the 04 tranny will match up to the >03?

 

better?

*shrug* I'll let you know if it breaks.

I guess I would say its 34 better.

 

How much did that send you back? Are they supposed to be tougher/stronger?

 

I got mine from hardtopguy after my diff blew up in Jan. Honda said the housing was different, but from the naked eye when I compared the two, I couldn't see anything clearly different. Tho as the article above indicates the difference is in the casting process which my eye wouldn't likely be able to catch.

I had to replace the part, so I did with the newer version. thats really all.
