Their web site says they have lowered their price on the Honda diff. to $895. Anyone use a Quaife with good or bad results?

 

I installed the quaife back in Jan. Unfortunately my car has been sitting in the shop since then so I can't tell you. I'll pick up the car on Thursday or Friday. I'll repost.

works good for me I have not broke mine yet, Jason

 

if you're going to do it on your race car, go with a spool. The Quaife is a great diff for a street car, but for a race car, they weigh too much, and the power transfer is not equal. If you're spinning, you'll notice the car weaves a bit back and forth. A spool is 100% lock up, where as the Quaife will not ever lock 100%.

 

Vapor, tell me if my logic is wrong. I've been running great times peglegged on stock axles. Lots of guys running spool, breaking aftermarket axles, with slower times. My thought is the spool is best if u are going perfectly straight. Once you have to turn the wheel slightly to adjust direction, one wheel is forced to do something it does not want to do and loads the axle maybe to a point where it will break. If axles are bulletproof, something else breaks. Anyone's thoughts?

 

Good logic. But I have friends running Quaife's with lots of power, they still break axles. I have friends running spools, and they break axles also. But when you get right down to it, if you have a lot of power, you're gonna break stuff. It all really depends on what budget you are working with, and what driving style you use.

I'd still chose a spool with some DSS Stage 5's if budget allows
