Default Opinions on Quaife ATB differentials...

I have heard that the addition of this differential is far superior with left/right power splitting to just the standard EDL system. I know they make a rear for our cars, but I wasn't sure about the front. Any opinions?

Default Do you track your car?

They really have no use on the street as they mostly won't even kick in.

Call stasis and learn more about diffs on our cars. They will be happy to point you to what you are looking for.

I was told by Stephen at APR that a Quaife in the rear will cause additional understeer.

Default Yes, it takes away the rear spin which might be helpful in creating oversteer.

LSD in the rear gives you a push which can be helpful on exit. But if the LSD initial torque is too hi the car maybe hard to drive under slow speed like in a parking lot.
