might sound stupid but what is the difference? because to me i still spin either way and it doesnt seem to be much of a difference the tranny is a S80 w/lsd.. anyone help me out?

 

for me, while i can spin 1 tire very easy. i have a harder keeping both tires spinning, this on street tires.

 

lsd better traction all year round...

 

i agree there is a difference but just doesnt seem like much but i am on street tires as well and they still spin but i was just wandering someone's POV

 

with my 2 step on the open diff was good, but with the lsd on the 2step, the car took off with very little spinning

 

i dont have 2step and i try to launch at about 1500 or so but as soon as i go WOT the torque steer and tires are goin crazy

 

i will be going to hondata s300 soon and hopefully i can see better results thanks for the .02

 

Well, I JUST received my b18c (SiR-g) motor and it has the factory LSD, I'm more of a circuit kinda guy. So I'm hoping this does the trick for me.

 

The bottom line is: with a LSD, you have twice as much traction vs. an open diff. because you splitting the torque between both wheels instead of one.

60 ft. times drop with a LSD.
Torque steer is greatly reduced with a LSD.
Passenger side front tires last longer with LSD...

The only 4 mods I can think of that would make you faster without adding power are:
LSD
Final drive
1-5 gear ratios
tire size (dia.)

 

Scott, if chassis and front wheels are equally loaded, a LSD isn't much up unless one wheel breaks loose.

25 cents of washers to change sway bar preload does wonders for traction.

HOWEVER you still risk the chance of exploding the spider gears....or twice like I did

OP, get your alignment checked. I don't care what LSD you have short of a spool if alignment is wrong you'll never get traction.
