Are the LSD shims that are made by Phantom Grip and AZ (the one the JDM honda Parts has) good ?
do they hold good ?

How has the best price on JDM LSDs ?

What is a good LSD that wouldn't hurt your pocket ?

 

PG and AZ are POS's

There was a Kaaz SOHC LSD on Ebay for $300.

 

Search, my friend, Search!! But here is a free-be....

In my opinion.... NO! Phantom Grips (and any other LSD that works under the same principal) are no good.

Here is one (of many) link that discuses Phantom Grips:

Oh, and there is no such thing as a "good LSD that won't hurt your pocket." You want a good LSD, your going to pay! If you want to go that route, I suggest you save up a little longer and get a good LSD... you'll thank yourself later!!

hey mista where at on ebay, i searched and couldnt find anything..
brian

 

I would do factory CTR or ITR possible for road race , quaife or kazz

 

Yea Quaife or Kazz, I hate those Phantom Grip ones. But if you want one that is a little less expensive then just go with an OEM one.

 

dunno, I was linked.

 

I've got a Phantom Grip in my EG, and they aren't *too* bad. My transmission happened to be out when the shop got its first shipment of PGs in. I got offered to have it put in for $100, so I said f'ck it, ok. First off it is NOT a real LSD, and whether you should put it in your car depends entirely on what you use it for. In a strait line, it feels just like a "true" LSD. When you pull into a turn, however, the difference is very clear. For about half a second, the car will push a bit. Not as bad as with an open diff, but there is a deffinate delay before the nose digs in. Obviously for auto-x this is a terrible, but for a pure street/strip car it isn't a bad mod to have.
The PG doesn't act like a solid diff either. The car's turning radius is exactly the same, and the front doesn't hop in tight turns like a 4x4 with locked diffs does. Also, the tires have not worn any faster than normal. I wouldn't bother using the thing for an SOHC since JDM options are so cheap, but for a DOHC where Type-R diffs are super expensive too, a PG might be worth it

 

my kaaz broke after normal every day driving and about 3 trips to the track within 3 months. bought it brand new.

 

I WANT AN LSD!!!

 

quaife get from me. the difference is night and day with an open differential. if you're in the market for one anyways, spend the money for it--lifetime warranty too.

 

i woudlnt say its night and day. id say its night and day in the corners. on the strip though i pulled just as good of 60fts with open as i did with LSD. granted this was NA not turboed.

 

Anyone know if you notice a big difference goin from stock ITR to a Quaife LSD.

 

how much do yuo want for a quaife?

 

little pricy, i think quaife are slightly cheaper though

 

I liked my Kaaz more than my Quaife.

 

From what I heard the phantom grips are junk,this said from a friend of mine with revhard powered GSR,he got rid of it and got a Kaaz I believe.
