I think the break question was refering to the torque or traction percentage number - whatever thats called.

Any idea what shipping would cost?

Does anybody sell these in the US?
$1400 AU = $1099 US

Cheaper then buying the whole tranny, but you don't get the hardened 1st & 2nd

I never did any actual looking for them, but there had been one on ebay for a while that was priced at 1325 or something.

This is a part i didn't put on my mustang because it was $500.

and now i'm thinking about putting the "too expensive" part on the porsche for $1300.

what in the world have i gotten myself into.
I don't even have my 951 yet and i'm already obsesed.
This is bad.
These little galvanized rockets better be the best car in the word like everyone says.

Ha. Just wait until you have the car, it gets worse. Especially once you find out that a lense for one of the turbo foglights costs more than an entire taillight.

Torsen diffs aren't quoted in % numbers because they don't function like LSD clutch plate diffs do. Torsens are 100% variable and don't require any % of slip before they start transferring power to the other side.
