welded lsd or spool?
okay does anyone know which of these is the best bang for buck?
one of my good buddies drives and sr20 with a welded diff. ive driven his car a couple of times and i mean yeah if you go into a turn to fast the back end chirps like no other but it was bearable. i also heard things of spool diff's that were pretty good but i heard these are most for rally. and than of course there are lsd that everyone knows about
just so everyone is clear, i drive an 08 base 350
and this is my daily driver, but i also am interested in taking my baby into a couple of drift events, but i think i should upgrade my diff before i do anything.
any advice on which i should pick? and one more thing, im a poor college student, so lsd is kind of a far reach for me due to the fact that i have no money. haha

Welded diff and spool are the same thing, with the only difference being that the spool won't shatter into a million pieces after a while.
The only things I've ever used a locked diff for is being cheap on a clunker "race" car. Basically something we'd trash on and throw away. Otherwise you're better running an actual LSD. If you plan on driving the car on the street with a locked diff, you should be shot on site. Plain unsafe and fairly stupid. No sugar coating that.

Just buy a nice 2 way, or even a 1.5 if its mostly a street car.

I ran a spool on one of my mustangs. It was great for the track but everytime I drove it on the street it was annoying. I couldnt imagine it with a irs style of suspension. Prolly mess alot of stuff up.
