Default what do we do stronger diff

What do we do here in uk for a stronger diff?

Does anyone come recommended?

Is it best to buy a stronger kit (puddy).and sent diff to a uk gearbox refurbishment company?

I seem to have a bit of play in mine so looming to plan for a refresh stronger diff.

for distributing power and beefing up the lsd part of it all then yeah go for that tegiwa , or personally quaife would be my option , but this isn't your problem , our diffs are weak at the ring and pinion and the power has to go through that before it reaches the lsd

Do you think this a heat related issue or just under engineered area
Say this because a friend of mine fitted oil pump and squirter on a diff once on a lotus sunbeam as was getting very hot

Why do you need a stronger diff? There are S's knocking around pushing close on 600bhp on the standard diff.

If yours has play in it why not buy a low mileage 2nd hand one which you wiill save you a load of cash?

If anyone has one for sale at decent price that is 120% reliable... then yep maybe, but if I buy used diff that goes shortly after fitting... its a waste of money and time.

stonger diff will last longer and have no worries of it giving up. So wanting stronger diff for peace of mind and reliability. 600bhp on oe diff is a worry imo.

No options in the UK unless you do it custom. I have the inline pro kit and it works perfectly but it's expensive. If you beef up the diff then the shafts will fail!! Do it right first time.

The puddy mod, stage 2 with polished gears sounds good improvement over standard without going to mad.
