U can use a Maita Diff, or Get one out of a GTU or GTUS. IF you wanna get a T2 Clutch LSD u have to swap out the whole read end IE tranny, drive shaft, axles, diff. T2 drivetrain kicks ***. But yea simple swap. for the GTU

the thing I hated the most about the FC I had was the open diff. my fb handled way better than my FC. You can use a TII diff but you would need a custom driveshaft.

I could have sworn there was someone selling a s4 rear end not to long ago. I would recommend looking for a s4 lsd because they are better than the s5 version (stronger at least).

EXACTLY. Open diffs have a weird way of doing weird things. Theyre very unpredicatable IMO. I like knowing whether its going to spin, slide, or what. Thats why when I rebuild my diff for my truck, I just put a spool in it

or you could just pull the center out, weld the pinion gears together til they look like an artichoke then put the center back in. no more open center.
