EJ Taylor 22 Posted July 24, 2014 Not sure, probably the helical gears inside the Wavetrac / Quaife. Open diffs don't fight the front wheels wanting to turn at different speeds, but LSDs do, so the car wants to keep going straight. Plate diffs are the worst for that and practically unusable in a FWD car, but even gear diffs like the Quaife and Wavetrac stiffen up the steering a bit. It does feel really good though. Proper planted as Clumpy said. on top of everything else then should create a pretty dam serious driving machine! Anyone came across any issues fitting them or are they pretty straight forward?

VAG-hag 0 Posted December 8, 2014 Ej, did you get one of these in the end? Im going to try and import one from the states. As rightly said on this thread there seems to be a steep markup on US parts when sold in uk. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VAG-hag 0 Posted December 8, 2014 Had a bit of a windfall have we Chris? Turbo install at Stealth, LSD shopping, holidaying in Thailand....................... Good things come to those who wait.... and ive been waiting, believe me buddy :) While here ive been reading up on cause and effect. Relate that to a turbo and limited grip and I arrived at LSDs :D so then there were 5 potential parties. Great this can only help us gain a saving. And Mic, I have to do something to relax while here dont I? Beaches, cocktails, sunshine and massage really takes its toll!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
