Default 1995 STi Type RA - what diff oil?

Guys,
Just fitted a dccd system from a 95 STi RA.
What fluid would you recommend for the diff?
Car is rarely used on the road, its a track toy.
Thanks,
Simon.

If you're talking about the diffs in the gearbox then any decent 75/90 will do. The rear diff needs a LS 75/90.

Having said that, my 95 STI RA rear diff has Millers CRX LS 80/90 which is fine

I thought the rear liked a straight 90 LS?
