My motivation for doing the modifying myself was as follows:
Why pay $550 when I can do the exact same thing for $75....???

B5's use the #012000 Torsen center differential.

<A HREF="http://www.torsen.com/fsae/fsaefaqframes.htm" target="_blank">Here's a good article with most of the juicy details about this torsen diff, look at #19 on the list for info on changing the TBR.</A>

no brass involved...but there was some machining of commercially available washers involved.
