while you're at it. i have come across a kit to make an LSD, not like the usual quaife ones though. it looks like 2 metal blocks with springs in between. not sure about the theory behind them but definately cheaper than a full quaife lsd!

[rsdaz]

cheers for the advise but i already have an lsd its just getting rather noisy now.

[Andrade]

ok then!

 

i have one question if you dont mind. up to now i have never really driven a car with an LSD installed. do you really feel the benefits of it or is it more of something which is 'good to have' kind of?

if you've got the money, buy one ! if its set up correctly it transforms the car IMO

I started with a 3.89 with a LSD in my mk2. Then recently have been trying a 3.54 and a 3.77 without LSD. And ive got to say. Sideways is loads more predictable with a LSD fitted. Without i had to up the speed on the entry and really push to get the back out wheras with a slipper you can feel it all happening and it will be nice and smooth. Deffo worth it.

[rsdaz]

as they have said above it is well worth getting one if you have the money,makes it a lot more predictable when it goes sideways

[Andrade]

yes thats what i was thinking, seems worth the investment. i'll put it in my future shopping list as i like some sideways motion too
