I've used the peloquin 80% kits before.  If your 020 transmission has a green painted tin-metal seal carrier for its passenger side output shaft, it has the factory "mini-slip" stuff inside, which can be upgraded to the peloquin 80% kit.  You'll typically only see transmissions that come on sometimes '84 and probably most or all 1985 or newer models.  Gary (Peloquin) has always answered the phone directly whenever I've called there and has been very helpful, I would give him a call if there is any question about your transmission.  Hope this helps - good luck!

Gary Peloquin is a great guy. I actually get Christmas cards from those guys.

The issue with 90mm flanges and lowered cars comes with the axle shaft butting up against the locking bolt. 100mm flanges have a bit more depth. If you have and issues with breaking CVs (resulting from the axle butting against the locking bolt) you can cheat your way to a 40% kit by removing the machined cap and bolt and simply replacing them with the factory thrust washer and spring clip.
