A plain guide to the diff upgrades available in New Zealand, from LSDs and lockers to ratio changes and full rebuilds, and which one suits your vehicle.

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.
Think your diff is making noise? Around 120 rebuilt exchange diffs on the shelf for 30 plus makes and models. Fitted here in Sydenham, or shipped anywhere in NZ with free freight both ways.
