Default Rear end question

What are the different final drive ratios that were available for the sc300 auto's and manuals?

Which had LSD as a given and as a potential? If so, how can you tell the difference?

What's the diameter of the ring gear?

Hey Photon,

Does it give a size in MM, 8" could be 205mm or 200mm, or an exact size in inches?

Thanks!
