hey, i tried doing a search, but came up with nothing. well i know what LSD's do, but i dont know what the different types do; 1 way, 1.5 way, 2 way. can someone please explain what they each do and what each application they are good for? thanks

1 way = lsd works only on acceleration

1.5 way = full lock up on acceleration, 50% lock on decel

2 way = full lock on accel and decel



2 way = good for road racing

1 way = good for drag racing

1.5 way = good for ???

mightymouse0x 05-12-2003 09:49 PM

so a 2 way would be good over the 1 and the 1.5? any dissadvantages?

2 way = road course racing only



1.5 way = street/ track



1 way= drag racing only



to put it simply, there are MANY types of diffs, that work in all types of conditions (salsbury, cam and pawl, viscious, torsen)

A 2 way lsd can make taking turns a little tricky. It takes a little bit of time to get used to.



I was told by my friend at KAAZ, for drift, he recommends 1.5. He said that very few people use 2 way lsds.

mightymouse0x 05-13-2003 05:52 PM

so i guess 1.5 it is then. do fd rx7's come with lsd's? and what company makes real good 1.5 way lsd's without costing me a fortune

?

kaaz only has 1.5 way for the FD, i have them as well as few of my friends.

Mightymouseox, kaaz and cusco is the only company that made them. i go will the kaaz, i heard from many people they are a better unit.

2 way makes the car predictable in both acceleration and deceleration. But it probably wears out the disks inside the LSD sooner.
