Actually I'd be happy with a 3.73 lsd too. I was thinking maybe I should get a 3.73 lsd first and then sell it and buy a 4.10 lsd later just to feel the difference between the ratios.

Your M coupe doesn't come with lsd? Sorry I don't know much about M coupes. What car is it coming off of? e36 325is?

Ahh 3.23. Interesting, I had no idea e30 diffs fit M coupes. Heh why don't you go 4.10?

Ahh I definitely want an e30 m3. I'd say my goal is to get one within the next year or 2.

To be honest, the s14 engine isn't even all that powerful. A lot of people complain about how underpowered e30s especially the e30 m3 are. But you can buy a 2.5 m3 evolution conversion for it.
