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 ???

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.

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.
