Junk because 1) the 90 to 93 diffs are small and weak and 2) the vicious diffs act just like open ones after 50k miles or so.. I have 80K miles on mine and its just like a friggen open diff.

you need the diff, carrier, halfshafts, and driveshaft (or whatever wording you use that means the same) to convert to a 94+ setup =)
And for a few hundred dollars you could get a 94+ open diff setup which would be much stronger than the 90 to 93, abit still open.

It's a rip-off, as are most things Miata related. 2.5" mild steel downpipe for almost $300? I bought a 3" SS divorced DP for my Talon for $195 and they are pretty similar as far as welds/materials. Anyway, eventually prices will come down on some stuff but I don't think Torsens and hard tops ever will.

I am enjoying my clutch lsd immesnsly. It's been a while, but a previous miata I owned was a 96M w/ the TorsenII. That was a while back ago, plus that car was stock, so direct comparisons are tough. But this clutch lsd seems to have a tremendous amount of lock up in comparison. I get a huge amount of under/over steer with throttle application/lift that wasn't so prevelant in the M or with the viscous. I guess that's for better, for worse though, as oversteer on lift is not forgiving if you're a dumbass.

I trade a tenth for never putting it in the wall.
I'll always tune out as much lift-off oversteer as I can.
