IRS - Axle Grease

It's now time to reinstall the hubs to test fit this unit to my Opel GT. Anyone recommend a special axle grease to use - synthetic? speciic brand?

Thanks,
Sean
 
You’re putting a Jag IRS in an Opel GT? What did you have to do to get it to fit? What kind of motor will be driving it?

I have absolutely no experience with the Jag so you can pretty much ignore my advice but I generally like to use Neo synthetic grease.

I haven't completed the IRS installation project yet. I've (last week) removed the pan between the rear box-steel frame members, and this IRS sub-frame seems made for this car - it fit's with just enough room to allow for proper mounts.... Next is the design of mounts and welding them onto the frame so that I can bolt-in this sub-frame......
 
Well, at the moment, I have in mind a RB26DETT - an iron-block straight-six; but whatever the final choice, it will be turboed (for lack of displacement - for lack of space) to 450bhp.
I've researched it a'lot, but purchasing an engine while still integrating the differential unit is more work than I have time for; so I'll wait till then.
