Ah... bugger! There goes my 'cheap' option. A rebuilt VC in 'sports' build is a lot of dollar. I was hoping to do it on the semi-cheap. I guess cheap and Syncro have no place in the same sentence!

The Sports VC is built to react far quicker than a standard one and can handle more torque through it.This is the combination on my Doka at precent and works great.
You cant use it without a decoupler.
