If you don't mind me asking, why did you choose the Wavetrac over the Quaife unit. I'm paying someone to do mine in the not too distant future and am interested in your thoughts given your engineering background.

I chose the Wavetrac due to it still working in a zero grip environment, ie on ice or snow, and also if one wheel is lifted.

The roads I drive/have driven have caused individual wheels to come off the ground, due to the lower suspension droop with my set-up, Ohlins coilovers and a big rear anti-roll bar.

The Quaife is an excellent diff, but for me, the Wavetrac works in all enviroments and set-ups, where-as the Quaife doesn’t.

I’ve used both pure helical and Wavetrac diffs in many other cars I’ve owned/built/driven on road and track, so made the decision from lots of experience.
