This guy who hit up my website sent me a message saying he has a Silvia and he wants to use an LSD off a "Corolla Coupe"...I don't know where he's from, but I assume he means an AE86.....I wonder if this would work?

iIdon't know but i'm doubting it since the AE86 has a solid axle rear suspension setup. Might work on the solid axle s12 but even that would probably be a stretch.

The Corolla differential is much weaker compared to the stock differential. Putting an AE86 diff in there is just a lot of work for a big downgrade.
