The Spoon diff is. Nothing new, its just like the ACT Street Clutch which is an umodified Honda clutch. This stuff happens all the time in the aftermarket.

Hmmmmm...

Maybe-but not with Mugen.....

This diff took lots of development as this car is a complete departure from the FWD LSD units Mugen has been producing since 1973, which coinsidentally have won just about every FIA, SCCA, IMSA, Motorola Cup, Grand-Am Cup and Speedvision Championship. Not a bad record to say the least.

As usual Mugen spent the time to get it right instead of rushing to the market with something not up snuff. Many hours of R&D on the track at Suzuka,Twin-Ring Motegi and countless gymkhana's add up to a durable and effective LSD without associated groans and noises common to other brands...

Have a great weekend!

From the webpage:

 

Unless you have a welded diff or a spool you will never have 100% lock-up. One of the benefits of using a 2 way LSD is to settle the rear of the car under braking and to add a small degree of rotation before you roll back on the power.

Not sure how this has anything to do with my original question regarding a 2-way being overkill on the street.

 

They should give us the option to change it . . . 2 way . . . 1.5 way . . .

 

As Scott said, it is never truly 100% lockup, and only engages when there is a need to engage. True, the 2-way will increase rotation under corner entry, but many people complain of an entry understeer. Mugen would not release a product without first testing it and making sure it was an improvement under any conditions. I'm sure many wet laps around Suzuka and Motegi assure that the diff handles predictably in wet conditions.

Don't forget, it's the unpredictability of our cars' handling that I feel is it's biggest flaw... maybe a 2-way makes things more predictable. I would not judge it negatively just because it's a 2-way. The monniker 1-way, 1.5-way ande 2-way are merely three descriptors for an infinite number of different 'behaviors' of a diff. In other words not every diff falls neatly into one category - it's a dangerous oversimplification.
