I've read up on a lot of different types of LSD's: Nismo, Cusco, Quaife, etc. I think I'm going to end up going with the Quaife LSD, but is that a wise choise, (I'm getting a LSD reguardless so don't worry about that) and if it is where is a place where I can buy them cheap online?

 

My first choise would be the Carbonetics (old ATS) for the same money or less than the Quaife, my second choice would be either Cusco RS 1.5 or the Tomei Trax 1.5. Just my personal preference.

 

Why?

 

What model Z do you have?

what are your goals for the car/LSD?

 

What do you intend to use the car for? Open track? drift? autox? street? drag?

 

I have an 03 touring and I'm going for street and drag

 

Since you have a touring, I would suggest the Cusco RS 1.5way. It should be very quiet for street use and durable enough for drag racing. Price-wise, I belive it is less expensive than the Quaife and Carbonetics LSDs.

 

thanks I'll look into it a little more. it should be about 2 weeks before I have the money to buy it.

 

However, it is a clutch type LSD. It is going to have more noise than stock. There's some good threads about diffs and fluid and sound.

I would have to recommend it over the Quaife only because you don't have the Base Z, which the Quaife is designed for.

 

How much research have you done on LSD's? I wouldn't go buying one without learning up first. How many miles are on your OEM lsd?

 

both Cusco and Quaife are on my list too. I heard Quaife is more quiet and it work very well too.

Please share your experence after install as a reference for my dicision.

 

I know that I need one if I want to get better traction for drag, I also know that LSD's are better in general especailly when losing control. and my OEM lsd has 43,000 miles

 

will do and i've heard the same thing about Quaife

 

A Quiafe is a gret diff, but to put it into a non base, you are looking at nearly $1800 - hardly worth it at that point

Cusco or Carbonetics/ATS is your best overall bet - and we carry both if you need em !

The secret to smooth diff operation and lack of noise is using the right setting for your useage, and using the right fluid - my Cusco is no more intrusive than stock

 

I like Cusco myself

 

can you PM the prices? and my friends and I install all of the MODS ourselves.

 

Pricing is on our site for all the diffs we offer:

Any questions, just ask!

 

Good suggestions guys, I have a new 06 Base I'm looking to put a LSD on. Which one do you guys suggest????

I only plan to use it for normal street driving and "limited" street races everynow and then with those pesty BMW 325s that seem to plague the roads here.

 

for a base that sees the vast majority of its time on the street, the Quaife is your best bet:

so when I'm looking at buying a LSD and I have the touring model. does that mean I don't have a factory LSD or I do?
