Help Me Chose a Differential

So then... you have three styles to choose from, and then you have specific options for each diff as well. Styles: Viscous Type (OEM Crap) Torsen Type (Gear Driven) Clutch

So then... you have three styles to choose from, and then you have specific options for each diff as well.

Styles:
  • Viscous Type (OEM Crap)
  • Torsen Type (Gear Driven)
  • Clutch Type (Bind under tight turns)

------------------------------------------------

Once you've chosen your desired type of Rear Diff (obvioiusly not the OEM viscous type), you must then choose how much lock-up you want across the axle.

Torsen types are fixed
Clutch type diff are adjustable
  • 1-way (accel only)
  • 1.5-way
  • 2-way (accel and braking)

------------------------------------------------

Once you've decided THAT... you can then ask us which vendor and model seems most approriate for your needs.

Consequently, do you do track days or have other mods?

------------------------------------------------

Personally, i like the Torsen / Quaife diff. Requires no maintenance and doesn't bind under tight turns, or chatter.

But that's just my opinion, i could be wrong.
