Thanks mates
When the diff is spinning it naturally wants to straighten the driveshafts to be level. So having a higher diff means the driveshafts will be straighter - or perhaps pointing down, which will generate more traction mechanically than the driveshafts smiling for the same overall ride height.

Also, having more plunge on a high speed rotating diff adds pack (independent to shocks), so having less plunge in a high diff free's up the corners to allow the shocks to work.... im not sure on the reason for this one, but it seems to be true when I have used it as a setup change.

Therefore, I use high diff on the rear of my SX, low diff on the front.
