Better highway car because of it, and I don't really notice a difference around town.

Not enough of a difference to make it worth replacing a functional differential, but if you ever have to replace a worn one, that's the way to go.

OK. That's kind of what I figured. Might try 15" wheels and get as much as the 2.88. So...., if I do decide to sell it, what's a "fair" asking price for the diff to a forum member?
