New diff ... 8.8 ford?
So I have the chance to get a new rear end for my 93. I can get a rear subframe that's been modified for the Cobra 8.8 diff. It also comes with the custom axles to go into the stock Miata rear hubs, but the only part I need to get is a new rear driveshaft.
Should I go for this thing? It's just a little bit more than a standard 1.8 Torsen swap ... except this swap doesn't include the driveshaft.

The 8.8 is a good dif and if the subframe etc is setup like in a monster miata kit then the ppf should still work i think that peice and rear is like 2K+ new so it is a good deal in the torsen swap range. But unless you plan on ditching you 15g and running slicks. Cuase you would need 300+ lb/ft to endanger the 1.8 dif. And the 8.8 will be good even after you tub the car and get a powerglide etc.
