- Any drawbacks of 2-way?
- Which one binds up when ur driving slowly?
when a Clutch type is noisey or "chirps" in low speed parking lot driving, it has to do with the Lock % setting, not the "way". a more aggressive lock setting with be rougher in low speed. 60% lock is good for DD and track fun on street tires. 80% is good for street and track on wide high grip street tires or R comps. 100% lock is good for drifting or a track only car on slicks.

In regards to the "way", that is the lock percentage rate during accelration and deceleration. if you have a 60% lock, then under throttle that is what you have, under decel, you have 30%. 2 way is the same lock % under accel and decel. road race setups tend to be good on 1.5 because there is less corner entry understeer, drifting is good on 2 way since you are constantly on and off the gas the lock % stays consistant
