Hi,

For all of you with a quaife LSD,
Would that spin the inside wheel on a tight turn when fitted on a car with a rear antiroll bar set up at one of the stiffest settings?
Does that allow you to hold a slide as well as a friction LSD?
Thanks

DCL

The torque bias diffs require both wheels to have some grip (torque) to maintain the LSD action. So if you run an ATB diff with a stiff settings, it is likely to be less effective.

IMHO I think you really need a plate diff if your aim is to spin wheels, or drift the rear of the car. ATB diffs work best when using them up to the limits of grip. They become less predictable when deliberately breaking traction.
