Dear E92Fan, Thank you for the write up! I appreciate that, but Im merely confused after reading this thread and 100 other Quaife threads.

Do you have the specification for the how much power can the Quaife during accel out of the corner?

What would be the Lock? Awith the quaife, does it mean that the transfered movement would be less friction then a clutch type???


As you can see, Im quite confused. I didnt really mean to barge into your thread but I am in the market for an LSD and really wanted to get this straightened out before I actually finalize my decision for an Limited Slip

Thanks for all your help

Jon
