You will simply have to make the sacrifice of staying up late and calling diffsonline or Dinan when
they are open. Diffsonline may not have the 3.45:1 ring and pinion option listed, but I'm sure they can get it as well.
I would advise you to call first (to explain exactly what you want), and then follow up with them via e-mail. They need to know how you want to coordinate things since you live in India.
I can get you an e-mail address for a Dinan rep, that's not a problem. Diffsonline's e-mail address is on their website.
To answer your basic question:
YES, you can buy a new performance differential with the ratio you want
without removing your differential first.
Now, you should know that taking this path will cost you a lot more money initially, because there is a
CORE CHARGE associated with this kind of mechanical upgrade.
So if you don't send then your stock 3.15:1 diff
first, they will charge you the core charge
upfront. (at the time of purchase)
Now once you receive the new 3.45:1 modified diff (and install it in your car), you can then ship the OE 3.15:1 unit back to diffsonline or Dinan for a
core charge credit reimbursement to recoup the upfront core charge fee you had to pay.
