2-Way Differential Daily Driveable?
Hi Guys,
I have been debating getting this Drexler LSD with my tax return money for a while now. From what I read it is very quiet while loading and unloading and runs flawlessly even in the rain. (Please don't explain to me why OSG is better and cheaper, I am set on the Drexler.) ASM/GoTuning sells this LSD for $6300, but I found that if I get the same specs as ASM from Drexler direct I can get the unit for a little less than $2500. I am probably going to get a ramp angle combo of 45/45.
I have searched the fourm and I havent came across anyone actually running this LSD. I wonder why? I also wanna make sure I know why the ASM one is $6300, and from Drexler direct its half that. (I know ASM RAPES people on prices so I believe it.. but just want to make sure.)
Also, do any of you guys run a 2way diff on the street? Is it safe as long as your not a noob (i.e. lifting throttle mid turn)? Also wondering why NO car comes stock with one?
Please let me know.

Not a big fan of the stock torsen. I would like to have more stable turn in, and mainly better control of my tail end.
I also want it because I like to have a little fun with the rear end on the street, but want something serious at the same time for the track/autocross. This is my weekend car, not my DD, but I still drive about 2-5,000 miles a year on the street.

ive noticed sometimes when i want to slide the rear out a little, when im making a 90 degree turn at low speeds and hit the gas, the inside wheel spins a little and then it grabs finally. I think something might be wrong with the diff.. I believe I'm running the recommended fluid made by redline. is this normal?

it will make you slide all over when you are turning fast (on and off throttle) and when you will be making U-turns your car will be hopping like a bunny.
If you really want a 2-way LSD I suggest welding the stock diff. 2-way or welded diffs are used for drifting or drag and most likely will make you slower on a road course.

Thanks for the info. Just curious.. how come the ASM s2000 laps tskuba in under a minute with a 2 way LSD? I understand an agressive ramp angle combo will make you spin intensively.. but even 45/45 or say 50on/40off setup?
Essentially does it not just limit the slip rather than cut out slip completely?
