Default Best Differential Vendor??
Looking to replace my 2005 differential with a 2006+ rebuilt unit by ZIP or RPM along with the new trans housing. I dont drag race but I am at just under 480 rwhp. I plan to go with 4.11 gears but I am not sure if I need the hardened shafts or if stock will be suitable.

I know they are both supporting vendors but I am curious if one is better than the other.

Thanks....

Chris

RPM is well known and has no complaints.

Bracciole runs a ZIP on his 10.6 ET car.
