I don't know of any swapability in front differentials in these cars, so I think your best bet is to stick with the number that matches your VIN.
I think i read up in one of the forum posts that lowering the xi puts strain on the front axles and diff. Nonetheless, that is not as important as figuring out if there is a way of fitting the 7591997 part (which is very common and easy to find, and afforable) instead of the 7575785 part (which i can only find through suppliers at eye watering prices).
