Default Swapping to an r180 advice.

Hi,

I need to pick the brains of people in the know.

I want to swap the diff out of my uk 2000 to a r180 lsd, could someone tell me what this in tales i.e. will I need the drive shafts, hubs etc etc??

Will it be a straight swap?

Many thanks

Dan

Thanks mate.

Do I need the whole kit do you know or can I get away with fitting just the diff?

Thanks again.

No you need the full lot, the R180 requires the thicker shafts wont work with the skinny R160 shafts
