g80 locking diff on rs? just checking

i just wanted to double check. Im pretty sure that a g80 locking diff would work on my 1990 rs but i just wanted to run it by you guys before i spend the time to swap the rear axle

Oh and if the iroc that i pull the g80 off of has disk brakes will that work with my drums or will i have to upgrade to disk???


oh and how much would a change in gear ratio mess me up?

It would be an easier swap if you put the whole IROC rear end in your car to replace the one you have. Do a search and you'll find lots of info on rear end swaps.
