Yeah, there springs.....yes, they could be considered the poor mans LSD (hell they are) but, what do you guys think about them and does anyone have any experience......(trying to avoid having the LSD the most expensive thing on my car)

 

They are CRAP, run away, seriously they can(and more than likely will after a period of time) do damage to your car. The way they work is not a good idea, it puts undue amounts of pressure on certain tranny/diff components and it can crush/break your tranny or other components in the driveline. Its a bad idea, but its your call, I've seen and heard(of many more) do damage.

 

I sell Quaifes for $795. Nothing else works for long.

 

I have 2 full race seasons on mine. No complaints or failures... I have a tranny shakedown scheduled for this winter so we'll see just what kind of damage it has done.

I hear many people baggin on the Phantom, but my experience has been positive. Just out of curiosity - is this a street car, drag or track car? Why do you need a LSD?

 

Daily driven.....plans for 225-250 WHP.

 

I've had mine for 2+ years. no problems whatsoever. I would say it is a marked improvement over the stock open diff but pales in comparison to a Kaaz or Quaife. Phantom grip is a great idea for lower hp (<200whp) w/limited race use. One thing people dont realize is the honda open diffs are, model dependent, rather beefy...and the phantom grip uses said stock diff as its foundation. Jeez, Lanny Higa made like 100 10 second passes on the same stock open diff in his daily driven eg. Another thing is, Turismo Technolgies can customize the components of your phantom grip depending on your needs, you dont have to settle for the EXTREMELY mild Phantom Grips that are shelved by most PG dealers.....
