whats a LSD and what does it do??
ok thanx alotg3teg97 said:Limited Slip Differential. An LSD is used to alleviate this wheelspin.
A Limited Slip Differential (LSD) is a modified or derived type of differential gear arrangement that allows for some difference in rotational velocity of the output shafts, but does not allow the difference in speed to increase beyond a preset amount. In a car or automobile, such limited slip differentials are sometimes used in place of a standard differential, where they convey certain dynamic advantages, at the expense of greater complexity.

how much does it cost and what exactly does it replace??IntegrasAreBest said:lsd helps you get better traction. ever seen 500 hp civics do awesome burnouts and then only get a 13 second timeslip, the reason for that is that the stock system sucks and everybody should get lsd.
Quaife's usually run around $1000 depending on if you know people LOL. Blox makes a copy cat version but the drivers? side axle is very hard to get out. It replaces the differential in your tranny.chicolindopr said:how much does it cost and what exactly does it replace??
o ok that actually explains it more easier for my dumb ass lol...thanx for breakin it down dummie style lolMatticus said:Quaife's usually run around $1000 depending on if you know people LOL.

Basically think of it like this EXAMPLE: say you have 30% or your power to one tire and 70% to the other, one tire will catch better traction than the other, now if there was a 50/50 split in power it would be a lot more even. That is basically what a differential does.
