Guys, Do JHM do a diff swap? I've heard that if you purchase their centre diff for the B5, in order to change the bias from 2:1 to 4:1 a la RS4 and I believe late model S4s, they will issue a partial refund on your centre diff, if you send them yours as part ex.? Also, would swapping over the JHM centre diff for my centre diff be a straight swap?

if not, as a second option, do JHM sell the bias modification kit?

No. I can get the parts ($70), but whether it works depends on the part I have, so may not be possible. Thought therefore it might be easier to swap the whole unit over?
