Default Recommended Diff Rebuild shop

Looking for recommendations in the New England area for Diff rebuild or would I be better off buy a brand new RPM lvl 2 ?

This is going to be used for Autocross so I'm not looking for anything crazy like drag racing diffs.

Just go to the dealer and get a new one price matched to online prices.

They gave me 0 hassle at the dealer and I got a new diff with c6 style shafts for under $1700 out the door in 2 days.

I didn't take it all apart, but you can see both the shafts are 2 piece. I was told by people in the know it uses the new clutch pack as well. I don't know if it uses the new pinion support but if you aren't drag racing you really are cracking the clutch plate springs before anything else.

Rick at rkt56 and Shane/Jeremy at rpm would be my recommendations if you don't find a builder locally

Either of the two shops mentioned would be great choices.
