Default have you ever driven a high power front driver with a Quaife??

Its not good I'll tell you that...... and the more power and traction you give it the stranger it becomes. This is one of those times when I think giving up that last % of grip (or theoretical grip) will make you quicker.

Driving an AWD car with a strong front diff is odd to say the least, on trailing throttle when I wanted the car to "tuck in" and rotate it understeered and would only right itself under power....... Not what I wanted over cooking it into a freeway entrance cloverleaf.

my 2cents... open front and clutch type rear

Default Yep. But I don't think that will be a problem with a torque sensing front diff. We'll see though

Default I agree 100% ... which is why I'm going with staggered wheels...

In fact, I bought some BBS LM's last night. 18x9.5J at the front and 18x8.5J at the rear.

This is gonna be fun! :-)

Default you're not putting that phantom diff whatever thing in are you?

...better off welding the rear locked, it'll last longer.
