Default Diff and gear box questions

Any one using a Quaife atb front diff in a standard 6 speed?
I think the hatches have them.

Ive read the blurb from Quaife and it seems like a good idea, is there any reason why i shouldnt?

Im having the gear box and front and rear diff rebuilt and am thinking of using Tegsport.
Is there any reason why i shouldnt use them?

The car is a forester sti and its mostly for road use.
CHEERS.

Cheers Don, i think mine must be well past its best.
Its says in the iwsti that the suretrac eliminates torque steer, mine does not.
Does any one think the quaife atb would be better than a re-built suretrac?

IMHO when you start increasing power you get to the stage where the power overtakes the design and mine definitely does cause I have a TY856WB4KA box and under power you wouldn't want to be sleeping.

Yes it would catch you out if not waiting for it. Hang on point and don't ease it.
