-Which ones require maintenance (i dont want this, i want a set and forget LSD, dont want to hassle with maintenance)

Stock is just fine for daily driving and the track. Unless you want to turn the car into a hardcore racer, id suggest Quaife or ATS. Oh and stock would require the least amount of maintenance and carefree operation.

I have to agree.

Quaife: Stock like reliability, (actually better) superior performance, and zero maintenance.
Brand new they are also about the same price as well.

Haha. Well, if your definition of a hardcore racer is someone who wants the best functioning performance parts on his car (for the parts that he/she chooses to upgrade) ... then I guess I fall into that category . I use the car. If the Quaife takes off 1/10's in the 1/4 then I want it (I am juicing nitrous, so an improved LSD may help me quite a bit with traction b/w shifts).

You sure about that, i heard that the ITR one is about 3-400 and the Quaife is like 800.

A brand new OEM ITR LSD goes for about $750 or so. A Quaife can be had for about $800. You can only get a used ITR LSD for $400.

Keep your ITR LSD. If something is wrong with it, or if you dont have an LSD, then go for a Quaife. I have a Quaife now, and have no complaints.

Um...you're not a hardcore racer in any way, shape, or form.

Stock is fine.
If you're like <u>most</u> ITR owners, enthusiastic street and track use, but not racing, I'd stick with OEM until you break it.
No track use the way you mean it Georgie...this is a drag-only thing.

no...but drag racing is technically racing, so there's bound to be some confusion when the kid calls himself a "hardcore racer".

Just letting you know that this is a car that will most likely only see straight-line abuse.

OEM is fine. Quaiffe if that one breaks. Can't beat a lifetime warranty. ATS requires maint. w00t.

stick with ITR LSD since that's what you have and break it first (if you can ). THEN get a replacement one. I don't have one but I would get Quaife since the cost is less compared to the ITR LSD.

-aoib0t, who has no LSD.

Also a lifetime warranty, even if you race.

How am I being an ***?

Just by telling him that he's not a hardcore racer?

"Hardcore racers" would have a fire extinguisher, not a NOS bottle. And a roll cage. etc etc...

How do we know if the LSD is going bad? I noticed that when I gun it, the car tries to steer to the left. Yes, I hade my alignment checked out and it's fine. Any ideas? Some sort of torque steer?

yo jon

i heard the quaife has a life time warranty so you always have that going for you even under race applications. So i voted to go with the quaife cause you get more power handling and warranty

Haha, it's alright, I'm not insulted, I think I know where Ross was going. But all that is being said is irrelavent..... definitions of the term "hardcore racer" and such. At this point. . . I am using the car for straight line racing, and cornering. Just because I have nitrous setup on the car does not mean I only drag race. I set up the nitrous so that I could take turns with N/A power, and use nitrous for the drag stuff... unlike the turbo guys. Just for the record, I don't see why people judge others on this forum. Just answer the damn question, give you input and shut the **** up. No hatred, no jealousy, no opinions about certain forms of racing being "ghey"... just be productive. Make sense?

What it comes down to is this. I will be replacing the LSD, and I was asking which would be a better choice .... Quife or stock ITR, seeing that they are around the same price.

Jon
