After much research, I found why bother. You can get a JDM CTR LSD on ebay from someone like Japandy for like $300 barely used. Works in a similar fasion, just with factory reliability.

Phantom grip is a joke, it is a diff locker. It does not hold up and does not work when pushed hard, better off just getting the limited slip diff unit, you will be more pleased.

i gotta agree with that. had it with my old zc setup and it did the trick. i could imagine there might be problems with more power though.

that is only two that have survived. what about the other zillion that have failed with 200whp. that is not a good ratio.

There seems to be a Phantom Grip bandwagon, no offense to those who have stated their opinions. Granted that over huge HP may slip but then again not everyone had 800 or whatever$$ to spend on a Quaiffe. I have had great success with the PG. BAng for the buck so I give it a .

this is like the never ending eagle/crower battle. eagles are good for they money and simple mild setups. and phantom slips are good for simple mild setups.
