i didnt know exedy made an lsd, but i woudl go with teh obx, and rebuild it. Many many many people have had great luck with the rebuilt obx, and spent less than half the cost of a quaife.

yeah seriously, didnt know exedy made a LSD. u have a few options really. u could just buy the LSD unit or u can buy an m2b4 and swap that in and sell ur tranny which will cost the price of the difference. ive only seen quaife and kaaz (which is the hydrolic kind if im not mistaken?)

if i was forced to choose i would choose OBX since i have never heard of an Exedy LSD so theres no reviews to base on. at the same time I remember seeing a thread a while back about an OBX LSD splitting in half on an auto-X car.

good luck, try googling all the reviews u can and make a decision on that.

You have to rebuild the OBX because it is out of torque spec or something. Search and i'm sure you can find out. And link us to this exedy LSD please.

I don't believe Exedy makes an LSD for the Prelude.

I used to have a Quaife, and I current run a Kaaz in my track car. Both are very good. For a daily driver, I'd lean towards a Quaife.

A friend that also races a Prelude in Honda Challenge uses a Quaife, and he swears by it. I like my Kaaz, though.

I had an OBX in a Civic I used to own (installed by previous owner). The driveshafts were seized in the diff. The same owner installed an OBX in his Prelude and the conical washers that provide preload on the gears were of sub-par quality. A couple of the washers failed and a few of the gears inside the OBX diff got chipped. I certainly wouldn't install one in my car...
