Once you become accustomed to have a locking 1.5 diff feels it's hard to go back. I prefer the OSG...my favorite. Use on the 370Z, G37, GT-R, our GT3..you name it. : home :: online store ::... |
for the most part I agree. Torsen diffs are great as long as both wheels are on the ground...for most people though, the open diff behavior during wheel lift is actually a good thing. Their life and maintenance is also much better for a streeted car.
