Mechanical LSD

PharmDZ · 07-30-2015, 09:55 PM

Hey everyone - looking for a newer mechanical LSD to replace this craptastic VLSD. I'm over doing the one-wheeled bandit thing during autocross despite giant sticky tires and a poor excuse for a limited slip! Heard great things from some people running a new diff and just curious to see if anyone has one available for purchase. Let me know what you have! Thanks

Make sure it's a clutch type diff. Even the Quaife will open up on you if you unload one of the wheels, which you will with giant sticky tires. I'll be switching from my Quaife to an OS Giken in my Z after the autox season ends.

I was thinking of just dropping the extra $$ on the OS Giken. Quaife didn't seem like enough of an upgrade coming from VLSD. Thanks for reassuring me on that Gomer!

I just installed a kaaz 1.5 lsd, I love it, def helps put the power down. It is a bit clunky and noisy when you're doing slow turns, I get a lot of looks like wth ur car is breaking down..hahaha
