Falcon 'ell EA springs!! I would expect them to be rock hard in a lightweight subie yeh they where pretty knacked when they come out of the ford and i had my doubts to, but they are the same diamater give or take an mil or two and had a cpl of spare hrs so thought why not....they are stiff but ther...

Just curious, why are you keen to use a low viscosity diff oil? Have always used the std oil, and with all that things that have broken / blown up, have yet to a diff let go. Are you trying quieten a worn diff? i changed the oil in it 2 weeks ago (oil in it was not looking good when it come out) an...

i would like to pick your brains and ask what the best oil is to run in ya diff, i would like to know the thickest you can use without causing dramas....thanks
