Part Review: ATS 2 WAY METAL L.S.D

[Matt Vassallo]

Ah yes, the greatness that is limited slip differential. With one of these, the life of sideways and any sort of motorsport is made just that much easier / more fun.

I drove a vehicle equipped with ka24de, intake, exhaust, coilovers 8k/6k, and an ATS2 way metal. This car's suspension is much more soft than mine, and not nearly as responsive. But the 2 way differential more than makes up for it.

I have to say a few things:

OH MY GOODNESS I NEED ONE!!!!!!!!!

they really are THAT much better than any cheap differential.

Rating 10/10

dosen't it make trail breaking over steer MAD easier...

This was what I loved about the nismo 2 way over the nismo 1.5 way in the old 240Z endurance race car I used to drive at seabring a long time ago...

how much is that mofo

[eracer]

some are like $900 matter where u get them at. but if u do get one get the helical type. norm lsd are for street use and for racing but the helical type those are for max horse power and torque. if your going to buy one get the helical type but ive only seen trd to make the helical type and for certain toyota's and certain model's only also

[Matt Vassallo]

the helical type is not ideal for drift from what MANY experienced drifters have had to say when driving both back to back.

For optimal drift and drag racing, a full 2-way clutch type lsd is the best way to go.

helical differentials are for more of a street car, witha much smoother transition of power to the outside wheel, and they work WONDERS on FF cars.
