The Rear diff will need to have the gearing match to the transmission, if that is a jdm early version 6 speed it might be 4.44 geared which means you would need 4.44 geared rear diff. And while the R180 is larger and does require a bit of clearanceing it also has mechanical (stronger) LSD
If you get an 06 or newer 6 speed it does use the 3.54 rear diff that the svx has so you could just replace the trans and leave the rear diff stock, That is what I did, however eventually I want the R180 for the benefits I listed.
