Open diff or LSD for AutoX

Masterbeatty · 07-01-2013, 10:05 AM

For 275/35/zr18 it was a memorial day sale. just looked now they are $341 now at tire rack. That sucks but still tires are more bang for the buck hands down. Next time your at an auto X ask around and then look at the guy who has the fastest car and look at his tires.

That sounds more like it. I'm running 295/40-18 A6's currently but will have to find a different size since hoosier discontinued the 295/40's.

Also when it comes to the fastest car at the event I have no problem with that. My region is full of national level trophy winners past and present. It was real nice last year with Alex Jones and his ASP solstice as a benchmark to shoot for (he's gone to FP now).

I doubt the money you spend on a OS Giken will drop your time that much. hoosire A6's $260 a pop. os giken $1k plus install= unk difference in time. Just my opinion and experience, yes better handling with LSD but you can 100% tell the difference in the drop in time.

IMHO the rank of autox mods is tires->sway bars->shocks->then who knows.

Master, what size A6's you running that are only $260 a piece?

i said, "LSD prolly the biggest performance upgrade in a auto x situtation next to better tires"

So im saying as well, tires make the biggest difference, and a upgrade LSD from a Open diff comes second. Sorry if my wording was not clear

Damn i didnt see your post my bad. I cant vouch for a new LSD but i was going to order coilovers and sways next, i have a better feel for what needs improvement.

This game is expensive yet so fun. my wife says its expensive but every time i upgrade something, after the cool down period she is happy.

Making the dive for a new LSD is hard for alot of people cause it doesnt seem like your getting as much as other parts performance wise. But whenever a friend of mine finally takes the plunge they always say " i shouldve done that sooner" LOL
