Hi guys, I am getting a new Roadsport as soon as they can deliver one but I have already stretched by budget and I want to fit a LSD diff on the cheep. So what diffs do they fit now? I thought it may have been the 7" sierra diff but someone has suggested it may be a freelander diff.. Anyone know for sure?

I also would like to fit some decent 4 pot brakes, anyone know what the uprights are off?

You will struggle to get an LSD on the cheap, they are getting rarer and rarer these days. Remember that when you spec these things from new, Caterham are taking off the cost of the part you have replaced. So AP brake kit on a new build is less than a retrofit and likewise with an LSD.

Remember also that LSD's need to have the correct setup and ramp angles in order to work with a car, if they are significantly out then the hanlding will be affected. The diff is Sierra XR4x4 I believe?
