So I'm currently having an EVO 8 clutch/plate LSD installed into my previously open diff pumpkin. I got my information about the swap from this thread here:
http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/evo-rear-lsd-in-a-1g-2g-housing.467544/
According to the thread, the non LSD 2g axles I already have should work. However on TMZ's site they recommend Evo 8/9 axle cups. And I spoke to them on the phone today about ordering a shim kit and axle seals, and he mentioned that the 2g non LSD axles are really close, but not quite the same length as Evo cups, and as a result the circlip won't lock them into place, which is exactly what the writeup on it warns about happening with the incorrect axles, however that writeup says that my axles will work. I don't want to take any chances, but I don't want to spend money on parts I already have either. Can anybody confirm who is correct? And or have a set of non LSD 2g and LSD Evo axle cups on hand they could measure? The guy at TMZ seemed pretty damn knowledgeable and I'm hesitant to doubt him, but it seems like kchaazz knew his stuff too. I'd rather error on the side of caution, but maybe somebody can verify things for me.
