Confirming details with Stephen now, i'll be sure to post up some pictures when they come in!
I'm going to be testing both of them to make sure they fit the transmission(s) 100%, then i'll be sending the 28 spline out to CA for Dan to test in his probe. We still don't have anyone to race test the 26 spline... anyone?

I was thinking, i could probably test the 26 myself, but i'm not sure if everyone would be OK with that since i'm not technically even buying one. I have a spare trans i could put it in, since i'm probably selling the quaife and all that anyway. I'd just need to borrow some 26 spline axles from atomicEGT (again, lol). Plus it will be quite a while before the tracks reopen up here.
The diffs are identical internally aside from the axle spline count so as long as the 28 spline fits and holds up to abuse and the 26 spline fits correctly, there shouldnt be an issue.

By the way, the bolts that these have been designed for are OEM honda ring gear bolts. Once i confirm fitment/clearances by actually assembling these things i'll post up the part number and everything. They are about $7 ea at the honda dealer and you need 10. Still not super cheap, but much better than the $200 quaife bolt kit and they should still be plenty strong.

Did you skip over my post? I can test the 26 spline. I did order one and I've paid the deposit. I have a transmission sitting on the garage floor just waiting for this. I'm running 8 pounds of boost. While it certainly won't test the limits of the diff, it would be more of a test then putting it in a n/a car. I've got plenty of country road to flog this thing on out here. I've even got a 2 stage DIS-2 so I can test this thing launching in boost to make sure it won't come out of the transmission.
i'm not trying to sound mean, but 8 pounds of boost isnt really much of a test

Well, if no one else is willing then I'll be your only option. I figured the test was more along the lines if it'll work in the tranny, not if it'll hold up to a beating. I figured the reputation MFactory has pretty much tells us it'll hold up to a beating.
I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.
i just recieved an email from stephen with tracking info... they are on their way!
