So, I have been looking at a few LSD's for my Z.

I have found some for 800-1200 for 2 way LSD. Nismo, and Tomei (2way)

Today i stumbled upon a new brand called "Phantom Grip" LSD's are going for 349.99. I was wondering if anyone had experience with these LSD's? I was really thinking about going for tomei because theyre $300 cheaper. But an LSD for 349?! it's absurd, just wondering about the quality vs the bigger guys tomei, Nismo.

 

Post a link so we can see this joke

Trash.

If you don't want a full commitment LSD, buy a viscous.

 

From the description it sounds like it is a "lunchbox" style locker. Like a lock-rite, I used one in my jeep and it worked fine for what I did.

 

A lot of Caliber SRT4 owners have had good success with these, so there is that.

 

you wouldn't want to do a bunch of serious racing on them, but they are somewhat effective. Not something I'd spend my money on though.

 

Had one in my eclipse fwd, they work. Made a drastic difference on that car. That said I bought a Nismo LSD on this car.

 

they wear the spider gears. But it does work, but I would never buy one

 

The phantom grip wedges itself between the spider gear faces in an attempt to lock the spiders from turning.

The problem with this design is the spider faces are not a large enough surface area (or correct frictional surface) to hold the torque of the driveline.

The system may work for a while but will cause the faces of the spiders to wear out and instances of chipping or breaking of the spider gears has occurred. When this happens you can expect to be replacing the ring and pinion as well.

In short an oem viscous is a better option in this price range, else keep saving your $ for a clutch LSD or Quaife diff.
