Nice, just bought all four on Rockauto. They were only $30 a piece and if you buy all four there is a mail-in rebate for $40! New shocks all around for $80 is a steal!

So KYB Gas-A-Just shocks are probably the best aftermarket replacement for shocks? I am in the market right now to replace my rear shocks since they are blown.

Well I bought the kit off a guy who already installed it but never used it because he decided to convert to 5 lug. But I also didn’t have my differential in because I was waiting for my gasket that arrived today. Now to install the new diff gasket, do I NEED to have a dealer of some sort applied? If so, would clear rtv work?

Ok, I left them all on the way they were when I took the axles off. But now I have fully installed the disc brake conversion and there is a ton of wobble/play. Was I supposed to leave some of the backing plate on to fill the gap? I had the entire plate cut off.

Hey folks, I’m currently swapping the rear drums to disc brakes, but I noticed that when I pulled off my rear axles, one side had only three metal shims and the other side had about 6. Does anyone know what the correct amount on each side is and also where to buy new shims? I can’t find them online.

Will I have any poke coming out of the wheel wells? What's the max specs the 521 wheel wells can have to keep a flush fitment?

Is there an offset and wheel spec chart for fitting the 521 somewhere? I have a set of wheels 15x7 -15, and I'm also considering buying another set that is 15x7.5 -21, but I am not sure if I will be rubbing with the negative of an offset.

Oh good to know and a great idea! Thank you!

What is a good brand and the proper grade diff oil I need to use for the H190 LSD differential?

So Wayno, just wondering, did you ever try putting on the 521 input flange onto the LSD? what occurred to you to use a 620 flange?

Ah! I see, sorry for the mix up. I kept referring back to your original comment with the details and I was digging myself deeper. I would like to order a spacer from you if you don't mind G-Duax. As for the installation of the spacer, why cant I install it into the LSD before I put the pumpkin on the rear end?

G-Duax, I am confused. If I keep it at the 3.7ish gears, will still need to use the spacer? I plan to keep the 3.7 gears it comes with. I am trying to avoid taking apart the LSD.

G-Daux, where exactly is the spacer you're talking about in the picture? Also, do I need that spacer if I want to keep the 3.7 gears? If so, how much do you charge for it?

G-Duax, I am buying mine from AFRacer on here, he had an ad up about a month ago. I actually think he was reaching out to you about some questions I had for the LSD upgrade to my truck. I will be quite honest, I have never worked on a differential before, so I am not very familiar with everything you were saying up there. But if you don't mind, I have a question that I would like you to answer: Will the H190 LSD differential work well if I just bolt it into place and attach a custom driveshaft? He told me it has 3.7 gears in it which was good for the sr20 swap. He also mentioned that you said its out of an automatic Cedric 430. I don't trust myself to mess with the differential since its so expensive, I wouldn't want to mess it up. Should I just forget the idea of installing that LSD and just go welded diff on the stock 521 diff?

2wheel-lee I am located in Torrance, CA. I also got the s13 driveshaft with my swap, and I measured the bolt pattern on that and it matches the LSD, however, since I haven't received the LSD yet, from the looks of it, the center ring on the driveshaft might be too big. If I end up needing to make the custom driveshaft, Im wondering if I can grind down the protruding ring to have a flush fitting on the driveshaft and lsd. Anyone know if that would affect them negatively?
