Default Thoughts on going with a stasis center diff and no rear lsd

I noticed that Stasis doesn't include the rear diff in their Tracksport package but it does come with the center diff. Does this mean that skipping the $1800 rear diff is acceptable while still going with the center diff? This would be for autoX purposes mostly. From the way stasis sets up the packages I would assume that the center diff is placed higher on the list of importance than the rear.

no issue i can think of. You'll likely get more inside rear wheel spin on turns...

Default If you want a test drive shoot me an e-mail....I live in the East Bay

I would be more then happy to let you drive the set up.

I have

Motorsports
Alcons
Center and Rear diff
H-sport rear bar with links

I think that is what you are asking about.

The LSD is great....really helps with exit speed and getting the power down. But can cause the ESP to kick in more often...but you have 2000 so that should not be a problem

Default Do you have any tips on the installation??....

It doesn't sound like major surgery but this car does manage to make things a little stupid sometimes. Stasis is still at Sears Point correct?

Default Thanks for the offer.....

I'll be sure to take you up on that if I'm in your area. Also did you install the diff yourself? Any help you can offer would be great.
