This is my view
I run a 3j plate on my 6 & Quaife on my 1974 mini
Basically a Quaife works on & off ..fit & forget better all round ...ok for track days ...better round town than a plate diff noise stiff steering wise ...if your cars stripped you might as well put up with a plate diff ...
I think Quaife diffs are a great upgrade for fast road cars !
Plate diffs 3j / Kazz / others... Are always on ...needs servicing ...box needs a bit of filing out 30min job ..& I've done a step by step on here ....had mine in two years not touched it ....not great for round town a bit noisy clicky / clunky ...I've used Redline additive to quite it down ...Amazing in the Wet & on trackdays....fast road amazing...when driving fast/hard no noise
...
I do use mine around town it's ok ish ...but mines 70% track now so I put up with no heater & proper buckets etc
Me personally if my car was 70% road 30% or 60% /40% track I would stick with Quaife ..
If my car was 50%50% road / track would go Plate diff as unreal for the pain of noise using one ...
Would I go back to Quaife now having 3j plate 100% NO
If I had Quaife upgrade to Plate diff 3j YES 100%
So buy what you need & will fit & suit you and your driving needs .
This is Just my view ....remember my car has lots more than just diff to make it go round corners quick it was the best mod I did though
Remember mine is taxed & Mot ...& I drive to the track
Price wise similar.... Ring Miles on here...amazing advice & back up
