So does anybody have one??
Like I said in the other thread, I've got a non-LSD 3.545. You can swap the LSD carrier from your 3.90 into it and be all set. It's a little messy, but the swap takes well under 30 minutes... at least Cory and I were down to 30 minutes to do the swap on my SVX and that included taking the diff off the car and reinstalling it.

You could even sell the open 3.90 you'll be left with to some poor schmo that's got an older WRX who's doing a 6MT swap who can swap in his 3.545 LSD carrier. 'Course, if you can find someone doing a 6MT swap into a bugeye or something, just trade them diffs straight up.
