Are there any kits for the small case LSDs, such as this one from bimmerword?

The link just goes to the storefront. Are you trying to put in new seals/bearings or are you trying to change out the ratio?

This link should do the trick:

I am actually looking to replace all wear components in the diff, bearings, clutches, etc. I actually still need to locate one...

The clutches I don't think I've ever seen those for the e30 diff's. Don't even think I've seen a rebuild kit for the small case either.

Here is a link to a tear down of what I believe is a medium case LSD:

If there is no rebuild kit for the small case LSD then I assume I should install the medium case.

If you can find a reasonably priced med. case 4.10, go for it. They are pretty tough to find, though. Try calling BMA (BMAparts.com). They seem to be able to find anything.
