No hard feelings man! None at all. I'll be sure to call you when I get the OS Giken SL. I'll get your number directly from Charles. You guys have done some sick stuff to his car down at VAC.
Glad that my thread led to a GB for you and the guys on here. Now is the time guys. Spring time mods and let it rip until the fall ends! |

You're probably right that the Wavetrac or Quaife will best suit your needs. Take your pick. Both seem to be reputable.
Personally, I will be going with Quaife when I make the move because I have in my head (for better or for worse) that this is a hassle- & gimic-free reputable product that has been in use for some time, has been proven to be reasonably bullet-proof, and is well-backed by its manufacturer and any good installer. after sufficient research, I tend to go with my gut for these sorts of things as I will otherwise lose too much sleep over the internal debate as to which I should choose. Good luck with your choice! Quote:

Cool fact: over 65,000 Quaife ATBs have been sold.

I'm getting an allignment done on Thursday and I'm considering having the SFBs and rear sway done while I'm there & install the front sway myself...trying to figure out a way to not tackle the whole package in one swoop and scare my lovely wife ...she did offer to get the LSD for my birthday, though....but then I'll have to do everything else concurrently...decisions decisions...& I haven't even fitted the wheels to see if any modifications will be needed for the rear fenders. |

Got that right . She's also the one who bought me the RGRs and seems to be trying to convince me to install the karbonwerke/sonic tuning trunk.
It's my lack of desire to part with my money that holds me back |

Sounds good Mike. What would be the cost of a Quaife built into a new core? Would you also in turn receive the old core from the seller. If so, what would the credit be?

I just spent 8k on new windows for my house. I'd rather have spent 1/2 of it on a visit to VAC for the record. One day.

Your windows will last 15-20 years; wonder about our Ds?
