Where can I find a good deal on a quaife lsd, need to get asap.

 

http://www.groupbuycenter.com has them usually for about $800-850 shipped.

 

Try sending an email to import parts. I was planning on purchasing one a couple of months ago, and sent them an email. They gave me a great price on it, but I did not buy because funds ran low

Thanks

For the records...

It is very difficult to explain how the Quaife diff works, quite simply because even the inventor Ron Quaife, claims to not understand it exactly just that "…it works and that's all that really matters". The best description for them is a torque biasing differential. This means that it distributes the torque, or twisting motion, to the wheel that needs it but no more than it needs. Their effect is most noticeable at speed which has resulted in their fitment into many of the cars on the Dakar rally as well as in many conventional rally cars. I personally have had them fitted front and back in my own Defender 90 for over two years and now swear by them. My own opinion is similar to that of Mr. Quaife's; they work. Occasionally it has been necessary at slow speeds to dab the brake pedal to set up the torque reaction and get them to work particularly when horribly cross-axled. In one instance we were in a situation with two opposing wheels high on rocks and the other two floating in mid air an not moving forward. In a normal car this would have resulted in a need for a tow, but by simply engaging a low gear and dabbing the brake pedal the car moved ever so gently forward and back on to the level. What more do you want?
