CONTENTS
Differential ..............................................21
Differential
The following changes have been made to the Super AYC differential.
• Reduced weight: The weight of the differential has been reduced by building the clutch case from aluminium, rather than
steel, and partially revising the thickness of the clutch discs.
• Improved strength and durability: Strength and durability have been raised by adopting special highstrength steel for the
hypoid gears (pinion gear and drive gear), instead of the cast steel used previously.
• Improved control when ABS is operating: Revisions to the communications with the ABSECU and the control procedure
during ABS operation, as well as active ACD/AYC control in high friction road surfaces, such as circuits, have led to
increased steerability and stability.

Wheels and Tyres
BBS lightweight forged alloy wheels are provided as an option,
which reduces the unsprung weight. Fitting these BBS lightweight
wheels allows the Bilstein shock absorbers to display their fullrange of performance.
