FINALLY getting it fixed with Extras

Minsu · 04-29-2014, 09:47 PM

So im finally getting my quarter panel fixed, finally....finally....

Also i decided to get the Berk HFC's installed while the car is there.

Also my friend said he will trade me his Tien S Tech Springs for my stock springs. Any thoughts? Also could someone educate me very briefly on our cars LSD and what other LSD isnt as invasive like the LSD we have.

tein not tien.

if it's linear rate and near stock, go for it. if not, keep your stockers, save up and get the swifts.

Minsu · 04-29-2014, 10:14 PM

its about 1.4 in the rear and 1.2 in the front. i think or it may be the other way around.

hmmm i c. swift springs, they dont do anything performance wise correct? Coil overs would be the choice for perf?

My coil overs improved both ride and handling. The ride improved until I adjusted them too much to say this.

Springs will absolutely help performance. Where did you get the idea that they didn't?

Ummm...

No. The right springs, i.e. Swift Spec-R, definitely improve performance.

Limited-slip differential - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are a few different types, the two most popular for are car are the Clutch type and the Gear type.

Quaif is a Helical Gear type

O/S Giken is a Clutch type
http://www.unitrax.biz/wp-content/up...te-c6-lsd2.jpg

Generally Gear types are a bit less harsh and more daily drivable. Clutch types are more racing oriented and can be a bit loud in their engagement.

Then on top of that there is the engagement options for clutch types: 1 Way, 1.5 Way, and 2 Way.
1 Way engages on throttle only.
2 Way engages on both throttle and braking.
1.5 Way engages on throttle and engages to some extent for braking.

Hmmmmm my head hurts but I'm assuming the clutch type is better for drifting

You in no shape, way or form need to be swapping the diff out. Get springs, a set of sways and then go AutoX it until you know what type of LSD you want and why. Figure out what the car needs by testing it, not reading about it.
