I also have a WAY over kill for the street differential, don't figure

PuddyMod Stage 4 case, OSGiken 1.5way LSD 752kg pressure ring, Richmond 4.57 gears, and high capacity (41oz) PuddyMod diff cover.
Love this diff, improved acceleration, smooth progressive locking of the LSD and quiet operation other than a little gear whine
I have no idea what kind of locking settings should be used on track. Does it lock better than the Torsen?

This how the car sits right now on stock shocks and eibach springs, I would like to come down maybe another 1/2"
Keeping your Eibach springs and just picking up a set of Koni yellows might be your best option. You can run them on the lower perch which will give you that 1/2" you are looking for.
Maybe this will be a good fit for me

Yes, and holds the lock even if you lift a wheel

I wish you tried to see me a PuddyMod Diff cover when you did my diff rebuild to 3.9 gears! I would have went for it for sure.
The only one I have made is in my car for testing right now. I built many PuddyMod cooling covers with the super large heat sink but this is the first one with the added oil capacity along with the super large heat sink too. The stock rear holds 25.9oz of oil the PM cover holds 41oz. So far the V2 PuddyMod cooling cover is doing a great job keeping the Giken quiet, no more growns or pops from the LSD The only time I may get a pop is if I upset the car, doing a suden shift and change up. I am very happy with the Giken performance and streetable use now that it is getting the extra oil it seems to need. Before I installed the new cover the Giken would start to grown and pop in turns after 20 to 30 minuets of driving now, she is 99% quiet as OEM

Ben, I'll bet you could trade some diff building services to a track / autocross guy for a set of used good shocks!

Sounds great, be sure to let us know if the PM cover goes into production. BTW my diff is doing great and holding my 400WHP with no problem.

I sure will, I have started building a few already I'm just making sure I can offer them at a good price. OSGiken has expressed interest in the design to label under their brand, I'm just not sure.....

I want badly. I guess it's on the wishlist. Basically your setup with OEM 4.1 or 4.44 gears.
