Not All t2s had lsd!!!
i have evidence that some t2s came with an open diff well at least in japan.for the last couple years here in s.florida there have been instances where people have bought t2 rear subframes from reputable companies and one wheel would only spin, or they would break the diff, well it happened to me today and i took apart my diff as well as a couple others from people who have had me install new pumpkins in they're vehicles, and to my surprise same final answer open t2 diffs.Anybody over seas ever run into this?i can send pics to someone if they wanna host it. i guess be careful if your purchasing j spec t2 rear ends ask the seller to verify for you.

i have pictures to prove it,as i said i beleive this was a home market type of thing maybe.i heard this years ago but never encountered it my self u ntil now.my diff was an s5 t2 j spec and my buddies was as well the other 3 were s4, and the ring gear, inner axel stubs, pinion gear and everything associated were all turbo specific parts.

What exactly does the 4.30 rear end mean... is that the final drive? And that is the shorter gear ratio correct? as in more acceleration and less top speed?
Yep, quicker acceleration but less top speed.

Most of the s4s that I've driven feel like a 1 way, though I would like to say most of my dealings have been with Japanese and Australian delivered s4s. Might not be much difference, but you never know.
The rotary workshop I deal with and most other people I speak with say it's a 1way.

Also, why is it that the FC guys want to convert to FD diffs because they are torsen (as demonstrated above), but the FD guys want to convert to FC diffs because they are clutch type?
