Considering 4.10 Diff. Any reason to go Dinan over Diffs Online?

michaeldorian · 10-09-2009, 03:28 AM

Hey guys.

I'm considering doing the 4.10 gear set and was wondering is there any particular reason to go Dinan over DiffsOnline? It looks like the price is over 2x more with the Dinan. Is it made out of better material or are they identical pieces but one has the "Dinan" tax? Thoughts?

Are these the only 2 manufactures that make gear ratios for our car?

I went with DiffsOnline. They use BMW motorsport parts, provide warranty, have more options such as 3 disk carrier and variable ramps, very very quick turn around time and I have not had any issues.

diffsonline > DINAN

diffsonline provides diffs for race teams

and i believe DINAN actually gets parts from them.
