Could I use the lube that comes with the GTR shocks (I think they are 30k if I'm not mistaken) in my front/rear diff's?
 
I think shock and diff oils are different in their viscosities. 30 weight shock oil may be thinner or thicker than 30k diff oil, I'm not sure. They are, however, both silicone based and it certainly would not hurt to try it if you wish.
 
LOL, I don't want to do it if it's not going to work. I was thinking since they where both silicone based, 30k shock lube was the same as 30k diff lube.
 
I'm pretty sure you could. You'd have a real loose diff though. A lot of "one wheel peels"
 
would 50k diff lube work in shocks? I'm having problems with the car bottoming out a fair bit and want to stop it :P i have it set to max ride height and i have purple on rear and silver on front.
 
Shock oil comes in weights, like motor oil. Diff lube comes in K, or thousands. My center diff has 500,000 in it.....took me about 5 minutes to pour it in lol.
I'm pretty sure 30wt shock oil is going to be very thin anyway.
