...40/60 Front/Rear torque distribution, that way our Quattro can handle turns with less understeer....How hard of a task is that, and can any specific tuner shop do the job??

Default jet jockey swapped his torsen unit out...

search for his posts.

also, understeer can be cured with suspension setup. a rear sway will do the trick at the cheapest.

yes, but it doesn't change the bias. Its still 50:50, but able to transfer more torque.

Default arent bmw x series sedans currently 40/60

all my salesmen at audi use it as a selling point becasue it is not a true AWD/quattro type system

basically rear wheel drive with front added granted they are not independant

Default LSD serves a different function from the Torsen though :)

And STaSIS sells both.

Default Too bad a phantom grip probably wont work. :)

Beats paying $1600 or so for a LSD.
