LSD anyone?

[CRX586]

All this time waiting for my b16a clip and I'm starting to think, maybe I should go with the LSD. Thoughts on this? Is it worth the extra money? Has anyone driven with/without and really noticed the difference?

Shit i'd go for it.

my y1 came with lsd, it has yet to be seen how much difference it makes. The only good test is to find someone that added it after they drove the car with everything else the same. my car is gonna feel completely different after the swap, since its new engine, tranny, clutch, even a short shifter was added. I wont be able to tell what lsd has to do in all that mess, too many variables.

I'd get it. I am thinking of putting a quaife LSD in my S1 trans soon. I think it would be worth it if you can find one for a good price.

I've seen them for like 600-800, so when I had the option of getting my tranny already equipped w/ lsd for 300 extra, I went for it. Is quaife the oem supplier of the honda lsd's? If not, who is? or does honda make their own...

I believe honda makes there own. Man you're lucky that u got lsd.

yah when my tranny shits i'm just gonna find a y1 w/ an lsd already in it, i can't stand the massive torque steer my car has.

Phantom Grip makes a $295 LSD, i haven't heard a whole lot about them but the price is right so I might try it once the B18 is here.

Yeh its a good price but read somewhere on "Purehonda" that the phantom grip is not good. They said that it'll tear ur tranny apart?? So i don't know but it is a good price though.

[ricodemus]

i was under the impression that phantom grip is the type of lsd that doesnt allow you to turn, so it would tear your axles and tranny up if you did. but maybe I'm wrong...

Honda LSDs are Quaifes as I understand it. Certainly they were to the EF series of Honda.

Ok, after driving around the last couple days with my b16 (sans vtec ), I am thinking that lsd is the shiznit. I know the b16 isnt a torque monster, but its got a hell of a lot of more low end pull than my battered and bruised d16a6. It rained here today and I only spun the tires like twice, where as with the d16, I would constantly spin the tires in a rainy condition. I say if you can get an lsd for a reasonable price, get it. Like I said earlier, there are other variables involved, but I think the lsd is a nice purchase, especially for 300 usd. And as Setanta said, quaife is the oem supplier of lsd's for honda.

Assuming that I add this after the swap (non-LSD clip already ordered), we're looking at $850 for the Quaife plus install. How hard are these to install, and does anyone know where I can get a better price?

I think i would go with Kaaz? I saw one for like 700? I guess you can find a quife for that price also. Just gotta keep lookin.

Yes. I have it on my Max and it makes a big difference off the line. You wont slip, even in the rain traction is very good but slippage is more possible.
