Not sure if it comes with any seals, when I had my Quaife installed I also had all seals replaced with new ones. Not sure if this is a requirement, but they are cheap and it can't hurt to do it while you're there ( or whomever does the install ).
Doing it separately costs a lot, I know because my left seal started leaking after a year of track days and I had to replace it ( I had them all changed again, just to be safe ).
As far as final drive goes, they are both compatible, but a different ratio will change the torque and top speed characteristics. The 3.08 will result in higher wheel torque, but will cost you top speed. There are calculators online to find out exactly what changes.

Yeah, I know that the installation of the m performance is simpler than the quaife and that's part of the reason why I want to go with it.
So they're both compatible? In the thread linked above it seems someone who should have got 3.08 got the 2.81 and had issues. The other way around is fine? Would any coding have to be done? I wonder why they made the change from 3.08 to 2.81 in the first place... Will have to look into it more.
