I've gotten some questions about my diff and specifically the durability due to the response I gave FTS earlier in this thread. I should clarify that I don't believe the Guard internals failed after only a few events; i.e. it wasn't a product defect or weakness. I now understand better and believe my issue was break in.

I've been a willing participant in "tuning" the GT2 chassis with my shop; I did not send my diff to Guard. My shop has been trying different settings including ride height, spring rate, alignment and preload & ramps on the differential. In this case, we tried an initial amount of preload which ended up losing friction after a few track days. Not a problem for me because I knew we were trying different settings. We've since repacked and added more preload which feels great. I will continue to monitor but expect great durability.
