e24 diff choices?

[kman]

what are the best choices for diffs (ratio wise) for daily driving/auto cross/drift(yes i said drift, no its not going to be an all the time thing, just every now and then). and wheres is a good place to buy one. i looked on diffs online, they didnt seem to have anything for e24s. lmk thanks in advance

I thought about tossing a 3.91 LSD in mine.

Figure that's plenty long enough for highways with some balls out acceleration. I forget what they come stock with. 3.73 might not be a bad choice either.

But if you want the ass end sliding, you definatley want a LSD.
