Default Kaaz 2-way or Supra TT Rear End

At first I was going to do the usual Supra TT rear end swap but would purchasing a Kaaz 2way be more beneficial since I can also keep my shorter gear ratio? Just curious because I was going to weld my diff for the time being, but if I go Kaaz I would need to buy a new rear end or spider gears.

Note: This car will be seeing drift events.

driving welded diff and 2 way is different in a drifting scenario. i have a welded diff and it has held up very well so far. its been through 4 drift days and a year of daily driving with no problem(knock on wood...lol)

you dont need new gears when doing an lsd. the 2 way will work a lot better too when drifting.

that goes for all 2way diffs.

If you are doing drift days definitely get the KAAZ. It will hold up better than the TT LSD and has a better ratio for low power.

I would need to get something new if I were to weld the diff and then later decide to throw in the 2 way is what I was saying.
