And welded is very sketchy in the rain. even more so if you have a decent suspension setup. I almost hit a car because an off ramp was too curved for my welded. In the rain, at 30mph... hard to stop sideways in the rain in time to avoid the Land Cruiser stopped in front of you. Went back to open the next day.

not trying to start shit mike, but i call bullshit. i rocked a vlsd from the hicas 240 and it sucked fat dick. i never just clutchkicked every corner, plus when your coming out of a slide, vlsds love correcting itself, and when it does they suck dick. trust me i know from experience.

I've gotta say my 180sx diff Is a lot better then my old welded and not just because of the 4.36 gears, I hated my welded. Just like s13 01 said, the only thing it was good for was drifting. I hated driving my car in the rain as well. It's not daily driver friendly and you'll be buying tires every month. If you intentions are to only drift, then get it welded. If not don't weld it.

Makes sense if you think about it... the rear wheels only want to go straight. So when you turn, the front tires are fighting extra hard to turn the car. Resulting in understeer. The result is the chirping sound you hear as the rear wheels lose the fight for power and they lose traction.

^ Exactly...good 1.5 way for $600
wld the diff and eat through 4 tires quickly at $125 a tire an dthen throw in the fact that it may break and rides like shit and asssuming you didn't have tp Pay to weld it it still isn't worth it...if you pay to weld it it is even LESS worth it...

full on track cars can take a lot more liberties with shit than a street car. bell bottom kits and crazy wheel fitment look cool sliding on a track, but when i want to drive to taco bus, im going to ruin all of that shit. so it just doesnt work for me. function over fashion.

Same reason I prefer your sister over your mom.
