Default J's LSD

Anyone running a J's racing 1.5 way LSD? Just curious as to how you like it, what you paid and whether or not its quiet. Is it better than the stock one?

The 1.5 way LSD will really shine more for anyone doing auto X or road course racing. the oem one looses some effectiveness when wheels start coming off the gorund etc. The J's lst will perform better all around on the track, as well as having the benefit of adjustability by either adjusting the clutch pack, or adding certain additives to allow more slipping of the clutch packs. Because of the type of LSD it is, you will get some noise, but mostly low speed real tight turns is where you may notice it most.

The J's Racing 1.5way LSD is more aggressive than stock. When you are on "OFF" throttle the LSD is still semi-locking which is good trail braking but I will suggest 2 WAY instead. With the 2 WAY you can carry much more speed through turns and the intial responded much quicker than 1.5WAY so I will rate 2 over 1.5.

As for sound, if you use the right gear oil, you can still hear the sound but it will not be as loud as a broken axle To be honest, it is not bad at all

2 way is "better" if you know how to use it. Does J's make a 2 way lsd?
edit: I went through the j's racing japan site and it turns out that they do have a 2 way lsd. Just doesn't show up on a&j racing's site

If you are interested in one, I am sure Greg "J's Racing" can get you one.
