Not sure about the strength of Torsen vs. clutch type diffs. I have used quaife in FWD cars that held up beautifully for 7 seven years but the diff. alone is like $1500. Thayer can add two extra clutches and and cryo gear treatment for that price. I am using a 2.93 gear with pretty wide street tires. I think I might have to flip a coin on which route to go really, just hoping to come across someone with experience with either. I feel like either route is pretty strong and not ever mounting slicks should help with longevity. We'll see.

Are you going with the 300mm rear vented setup? I bought the adapters for those myself, I haven't installed them yet.

True, sounds like a plan, keeping to lower geared diff, maybe some thicker e30/custom axles, not too sticky tires to keep the weak link at the tire, not drive-train and you might be good to go.

Good luck!
