Howell automotive sells the kit for 300$- limited slip should help a lot with traction but is it worth the price? Anyone know anything about it? Anyone ever get one of these installed in thier car? Thanks.

What that does is lock your differential so both wheels spin. It'll give you traction if you wanna drag race I guess but for cornering I heard it sux...

there are only two limited slip differentials that i know off,

first would be Phantom Grip, around $250, which is basically a fake LSD... it's just a mod for your open differential and changes it up. Some people have it, and they say it works really well for drag racing but sucks for cornering

second is Quaife limited slip, which is about 1200 bucks, true LSD and if you have the money, i recommend it.

Haha sounds similar huh I was talking about the Phantom Grip.... Yup my ultimate upgrade will be that Quife LSD some day when I can afford it. Just wondering but to get to the differential would you have to take open up the clutch? That might be a good time to get one

Some assembly required.

Stock on the left and the quaife on the right.

If you have to do the differential, it is easy enough to do the clutch at the same time.

A phantom grip is what they call a locker differential. It is an old muscle car trick carried over. I still do not like the idea of friction from metal on metal and it does not address the weakness of the stock differential.

The quaife is ATB (automatic Torque biasing) and is essentially gears and very strong.

You will also hear about clutch types (KAAZ) which allows you to preset the load change yet wears out like any clutch will (yet I have never actually heard of someone having to rebuild their diff from a worn out clutch) and viscous coupling which uses a fluid to transfer torque and comes in a GSX.

I am happy with the Quaife.

What about a variation of a Detroit locker differential? Anyone know if this is available for the eclipse.

Being able to lock the diff in and out would be beneficial to people like me who live a place that has steep hills with Sharp corners but also a considerable amount of snow and ice in the winter.
