easiest option (and probably cheapest) would be to pick up a 2nd hand EF XR6 diff.
You will also need the speedo sendo too.

$16 from ford i think If the diff doesnt have to be LSD then it will be cheaper to pick up a set of 3.45 diff gears, (either XR gears or VL commodore gears) and put them in your diff |

3.45 don't fit into 3.08 housings nicely, you really need to re shim the whole setup .. unless you know what your doing, not worth it, as above, buy a 3.45 LSD.
(altedxr6 under g/f account)

dont be a p***y, 3.45s are nearly enough...get some 3.70 or 3.89 or 4.11 from the R31 skylines/pinnys and whack them in an EA housing and chuck that under your car... i've done it! nice short gears...

hey so which gives better acceleration vs topspeed? a 3.08 or say a 4.11?
the diff on my ute say 4.##... (bad memory  ) but i neeeed better acceleration. 
also how can you find out if the gearing inside the housing has been changed? what are you hoping to get from the diff change 96_EFCaridinalRed?

jack up the rear of the car. turn the wheel once and see how many times the tail shaft turns. that the ratio. 3 turns of the tail shaft and one of the wheels. = 3:1 ratio.
4:11 would give better acc. but would hinder top end. JIM |
