WTB: S4 Stub Shafts (West Chester, OH 45069)

infernosg · 02-10-2011, 09:56 AM

Looking for some equal-length stub shafts from an S4 FC. Doing a 4.30:1/Miata Torsen rear end swap on my FC and I don't think the S5 N/A stub shafts on my FC will work.

On a similar note if anyone knows where to find a reasonably priced Miata Torsen, let me know.

I was under the impression that the NA FC stub shafts are what you have to use with the Miata diff.

Oops, forgot to clarify I have a S5 N/A. I'm told those may or may not work, but it's known for sure the S4 N/A stub shafts work. It's also known the stub shafts from the GTUs WILL NOT work and it's pretty obvious to say the TII stub shafts won't work.

Anyone have a comparison of the S4 N/A to S5 N/A stub shafts?

Hate to bump but...

Does anyone know what stub shafts, specifically, work with the Miata Torsen swap? All I've read is that the S4 N/A stub shafts WILL work, the S5 stub shafts from a GTUs WILL NOT work and the stub shafts from a N/A S5 MAY OR MAY NOT work. However, didn't the S4's have both LSD and non-LSD options in the N/A cars? Were the stub shafts any different? If so, which ones work with the Miata Torsen LSD???

So after doing some research it seems the S5 non-LSD stub shafts may work. I found a post over on the evil forum (one in hundreds on the subject) that mentioned the S5 shafts working. Also, Mazdatrix has one P/N for the S5 non-LSD, which seems to indicate the sides are interchangeable.

So... what I guess that means is I no longer need this thread
