ok tried searching but it is down. what is LSD that you guys talk about??

 

Limited slip differential. It locks the wheels when you are going straight but allows the outer wheel to turn faster than the inside wheel when turning. It's only needed when you put down a bunch of power.

 

thanks man

thats not true, anytime you are looking for better traction a LSD would help greatly. stock or heavily modded a LSD is definatley a worthwhile upgrade.

here this should help

As Kamin said, a limited slip diff is beneficial to any application, regardless of power levels. I could have certainly used one at the track this weekend in my 108hp terror

The effects of LSD can be felt/used frequently during any kind of driving. At performance driving events such as autocrosses and track days though, the difference is like night and day - they help enormously. Not to mention they're great for the snow too

 

yea that was for the thread creator, not you.

beef up your suspension if you're want help while turning

i think you should ask yourself the same question you have in your signature.

 

got suspension tuned already aint enough
how hard are they to install?? how do you install?? DIY thread??

If you have never opened a transmission before, I would not recommend such a task for the do-it-yourselfer. It's not easy, and you will need many tools and a lot of free time.

 

rs type coilover w/ tokico shocks
front & rear upper strut braces

is not what you would call a <U>Tuned </U>suspension.

 

time and tools arent the problem. knowing where it goes, how it goes is the problem

This is one of the "If you've got to ask, you probally can't do it" situations.

You will have to take apart the transmission to install it.

No, you are the problem.
