Hello all,

I am new to this forum, I am currently building a ZX14 - mid engined layout car. I am currently considering various options on reversing diffs for this set up and I really struggle to choose.
I am sure you guys have a huge wealth of experience with this question, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am looking for the
-most reliable
-least expensive
-lightest
-readily available
reverse differential available.

Here are the options I currently know of, but are they any good? Which one is best? Do you have experience with them and can you recommend any? Which one is the most reliable one?

1) Quaife QBA4R

2) Quaife QBA11R

3) Radical TQ0063

thanks so much!!

Not sure it's possible for anyone to give you an answer other than "I use X and it's great."

Honestly, the only thing that fits all your requirements is to not run one. People do it all the time and claim it works out fine, but you didn't say where you live or how the car will be used. If it's a track-car only, or you live in the desert, you don't need one. If you have to back up Lumbard Street in San Franscisco every morning, well, maybe you do.
