Diff Upgrades NZ: LSDs, Lockers, Gear Ratios and Rebuilds

Whether you tow, go off road, race or just want the car to put its power down, there is a diff upgrade that will make a real difference. This guide runs through the main options and who they suit.

The main upgrades

  • Limited slip centres for traction on the road and on gravel
  • Lockers and spools for serious off road and drag use
  • Ratio changes to suit bigger tyres or a different gearbox
  • Full rebuilds with uprated bearings and solid pinion spacers

Where to start

The right upgrade depends on what the vehicle does most of the time. Give us a call with your rego and a description of how you use it, and we will give you a straight answer on what is worth doing.
