Get these S5 TII longer halfshafts and then shorter S4 TII stub shafts (S4 after VIN 608385, part number shown in picture.

That should be ok.

We run FD torsen in about 10 FC's so far, its most affordable LSD for us...

Swap is pretty straightforward, set backslash and DONT forget to glue bolts to the ring gear (on one of our diffs they did break loose and it did not ended up good )

Here are some pics from swap :

So, by looking at the different lengths of the stub axles on the S5 and then looking at the length of the short S4 stub axle you can see that the S4 is sort of a compromise in length between the short and long S5 stubs. You are saying that that compromise is acceptable, huh?

Then of course I would get two S5 haftshafts.
