Default Diff ?

What is the best weight lube to put in each diff for the best performance on the track? 30,000 in the front and 50,000 in the rear or the other way around? Or what? Thanks for you time and input on this mater

I used 30K in both and am VERY satisfield with the results. Very good traction and still very good turning radius.

I'm using 60k front, 30k rear. I don't race but it's got a good turning circle and feels better than without anything in them

You can try whatever you want. It only takes 10 minutes to get a diff out and open. The diff oil is cheap. You can always change it.

Here's the easy way to look at it.

The higher the number the closer to locking diffs you get. The higher in the back the more overstear the higher in the front the more understear (Relative to standard grease and assuming that the other diff doesn't have the same thickness of fluid).


I run 30 in the front and 60 in the rear because I like for my cars to be a little on the nose(overstear). It all depends on what you like. Experimentation is the key! HAVE FUN!
