    A few washers for the rear mounting points and swapping the propshaft flange.

    That's it!

    The RS diff is MUCH harder to put in.

    As a cheap quick fix while you get a good idea of what diff you want I'm sure you can disengage the AYC by pulling a fuse and just make do with an open diff. More knowledgeable members will be able to correct this if anything's wrong.
    I'm not arguing...I'm just offering an endless series of contrary points of view.

    You can yes but his diff has exploded
    If I'm replying to your thread and helping you out, it is because I like you and want to help out your VR-4 ownership. No other reason

    Hey dudes,
    Whats the best option, that wouldhold good power and would not disturb daily driving?

    an Evo 8 RS rear differential or a normal S-AYC diff?

    I got a good deal on the RS diff, will it fit? and what all do I need to have to fit it?

    RS diff's are virtually indestructable, but won't let the car corner quite as quickly as a car with AYC.

    SAYC is the grail imho.
