2G Evo diff in 2g housing

[Donv]

Before I pull the trigger I’ve been looking at forms on the Evo diff in the 2g housing. Main concern was axles until I found these at STM Tuned.

But I was wondering about if I could use the aftermarket 4.3 final drive any possible way?

Another question, I’m trying to swap out my front differential with a LSD

Could I just use my stock drive shaft since I’m still using stock housing

Quaife front LSD is a straight swap, it will work with stock axles. What is this aftermarket 4.3 final drive you mentioned? Do you mean the 4.266 Evo 1/2 front diff ratio or the 4.200 Evo 3 front diff ratio?

Also, are you 100% positive you want to spend $2,355 on axles that allow you to put a stock Evo rear diff in your car? That's not really cost effective..

I had no idea I didn’t need those axles, and is it possible to use the 4.266 diff?

I’m pretty new to the whole drivetrain things with awd

If you wanted to use the Evo ratio you need the trans, tcase and rear diff all the match, no one bothers doing this.

Also for what it's worth I've found the Evo clutch type diff easier to break than the 2g viscous.

You don't need to do anything with the front axles to use the Quaife front diff. You can use whatever came with the car. The rear axles need to be converted with Evo axle cups to use the Evo rear LSD, which is a better solution than $2,300 axles.
You can use the shorter Evo 1-3 gearing if you had the front crown and pinion (the front diff ratio needs to match your transfer case), plus the 3.909 rear crown & pinion. Don't change final drive ratios just because, you should have a good reason for doing it.

I understand. I was curious that if I use a Evo diff I could use the Evo final drive ratio?

You can, and you don't even need the diff itself to do it, but it's a lot of work and some very hard-to-find parts.
