What about the fronts?
Doing some setup work for some intrax dampers on my car and trying to get a handle on whether I need a proper shop to switch springs or whether its not such a big deal - in comparison to switching out dampers.

26 hours? Sounds like someone is getting taken to me. We do these here on a pretty regular basis, I would say that it should not take any where near that amount of time. Figure parts to be around the $500 mark depending on it's condition, they may not even be that much. It doesn't take too much to do these. Just my observation.

996 Limited Slip Differential Bench Test pages originally posted on Rennlist by 'v12man'.
Please remember that this test is probably not valid on the LSD while fully assembled in the GT3, but may be a wear indicator.
Here is the process I used if you want to try it.
1. remove rear wheels
2. gear box in neutral and parking brake off
3. use a 32mm socket on the axle nut to rotate axle and LSD
4. use an appropriate ranged torque wrench (low torque here)
5. secure one of the rear brake disks so the axle won't turn
6. apply turning force on other axle slowly, begin with a very low torque setting on wrench
7. repeat Step #6, incrementally increasing the torque wrench setting until the axle rotates
8. that is your break away torque value of the combined assembly (friction of brakes, axle universals, and LSD)
