The Quaife differential does look interesting - can you talk to the feel of it?
Hey, just take a look at the first thread under my signature. I wrote a review of it. I wanted a car for go, not just for show. Upshot is, I have the equivalent power transfer to the pavement of most cars with power boosts/mods but without the diff. When the e-diff on our cars kicks in and you see the flashing lights that indicate DTC is working, it is essentially applying the brakes to one wheel in order to stabilize the car, unlike a normal limited slip differential (LSD) that transfers power to the wheel with the most grip.

Read the threads below to understand the dynamics of a true diff, whether it be a plate or gear type torque biasing diff. First and best mod I have ever made.
