I decided to post an email I recieved from Bryan when I asked him about the SID (appearance and the lack of the pins/tabs). This by no means says that I am unsatisfied with the performance of the product because I feel that it does it's job magnificently. I just had some questions and concerns in regard to it.

The revised unit that you have does not need the clips or pins you remove
the tie and slipde it in the diff. I have done a few this way, and it is
much safer and easier than dealing with the tabs.

The unit now features ramp angles to assist twist and to produce more bite
on the spider gears. The old units that had the curved diff pin AL
centers
were not twisting on the pin as much so I updated the design. The Plates
are hardened to a rockwell 52 std which causes the steel to rust quickly
so
I ship them dirty since alot of customers let them sit for a while. I
have
taken a function over form approach to mu units, concentrating on
perforance
over looks. If I was selling body kits this would not be the case, but
90%
of my customers are serious racers and their SID never is going to see the
light of day.
