OBX LSD?
After shimming my swaybar, I fiddled my GCs at least 4 different times, and had some settling issues with the rubber pad at the top of the spring getting twisted around and taking a day or two to resettle and confrom to the shape of the spring and upper perch it's squished between. Despite this I always had "LSD posis" on an open diff.
While you can crossweight the car statically like that, and I'm sure it has an effect, I think most of what you get is operating dynamically... the shims actively twist the swaybar and help more dealing with the initial weight transfer when launching.
Or, hell, I dunno... this is all speculation + after the fact guesswork based on my experiences. Chassis is pretty stiff, not a stock bushing or mount left in it, and the springs are pretty stiff too. That probably has more to do with it than the BS I typed up above.

thinking about getting one of these. I just read through all 13 pages of this thread. How are these holding up for your guys that got them? Should I get this over the quaife?

soooooooo tempting... I will keep my eyes on this thread, and hopefully have enough informed information, to form my final decision on this product, before the model for the GSR is released.......
Thanks to all of those who have provided some very useful info....

why do people keep saying it has a lifetime warranty like it matters, their lifetime warranty only covers their own screwups when making the product, it DOESNT cover you breaking it.
"Also comes with a lifetime warranty from manufacturer defects" straight from the description off ebay.

Yup yup. The QC of the OBX LSD is still up in the air, but "dailod" will have your ebay'd diff to you so fast your head will spin.

and your point?maybe i'm taking you wrong.
everybody who has reported on one has had no problems(granted they haven't been used long),but i would still consider their durability up in the air until lots of people have used them for a long time-i didn't want to wait three years to buy one.and,yes,"Dailod" did get me my product "so fast my head spun".
like i said-maybe i'm taking you wrong,but no reason to be a jackass.

What the **** are you flipping out about? Let's see:

Which is the damn truth. It's a Quaife clone, but as you say it doesn't have years of history on the market and in cars to go on.

And here I agreed that if you wanted to purchase one from ebay, "dailod" was not a scam artist and is a prompt shipper. Which was the point of my post - one favorable review only goes so far, me posting my positive experiences with "dailod" starts to portray a history of positive experiences.
So, yeah, I'm a jackass for agreeing with you completely, and desiring to say "remember the OBX LSD isn't a sure thing, but this guy here who sells them is legit". Now I remember why I ditched the Hybrid board(s) - I was there before you, btw - full of elitist ****** who don't know a goddamn thing above the basics and jump on your *** over absolutely nothing.

whoa man.....i said that maybe i was taking you wrong in my post-twice.calm down a little....i totally misinterpreted your post.sorry.i took you as being a smartass and saying "this product is totally untested,unproven,will most likely blow up and ruin your tranny,sending shrapnel into innocent bystanding kids,ending all humanity.....BUT,he sure does ship them out fast,and that's all that matters." i totally misunderstood you-i apologize.
it's great that you were there before me on the Hybrid forums,and honestly,i can't say i miss you with an attitude like that.there were even people before you-who cares?!i've been on Hybrid since '97,and plenty of people have come and gone-who cares?!i'm far from an elitist *****.i know a ton about hondas,there's also a ton i don't know.never said i did or didn't know anything.i know that the average Hybrider is far more mature and knowledgeable than the average H-Ter-and that's only because H-T is an open forum that lets'a nobody in,including the totally clueless.nothing wrong with that.Hybrid has been closed to new members for the most part for years now,so no newbs there.there are some elitist ****** on Hybrid.but guess what-all of them are on here too.what pisses me off is people who learned most of what they know on the Hybrid forums,then dumps it for H-T
again,sorry-the last thing i intend to do is to start a fight with some person i've never met on the internet.if you accept my apology,good.if not,good too.
