Is it really worth the 300 for a LSD ??? I was thinking about just welding my stock dif
And if the "cherp" is that terrible I'll get a LSD. Any thoughts?? Thanks

 

What are you using the car for?

A welded diff isn't a replacement for an actual LSD, but if you are just going to drift the car or whatever you don't need a true LSD for that.

 

You get what you pay for.

Yeah a welded diff will work but actually buying a LSD will yield better results

 

I wish an LSD was $300 , all said and done mine was closer to $2k.

 

Not really into drifting

 

Not really into drifting it's for my daily

 

Ever driven a vehicle with a locker or spool? Sucks for a daily. Especially in snow and ice.

 

dont be cheap, spend the money and do it right, but my guessing is you dont have the 1200+ for a decent diff

 

No I haven't and the car will be
Parked in the winter. And ya spending 1500 isn't ideal lol

 

I've driven several 4x4s with welded diffs/spools, and the absolutely sucked on paved surfaces. Even when in sloppier stuff it's constantly a throttle manipulation deal to get the vehicle to steer. I would not recommend doing it to a car. But I don't pay the bills for other people's vehicles.

 

do you have the open diff now? check slidegood for an oem vlsd

Ya it's just stock rn. And getting a vlsd just replaces the diff I have right now and will stop the cherping problem ?

 

your not into drifting and its your daily driver. why do you want the diff welded? save your money and stop being cheap.

 

Unless you track your car, get neither. Personally, I love my welded diff but I'm also into drifting. Spending 1k for a real LSD just didn't seem worth it when you work at a machine shop and can weld it yourself. Good luck

 

I've also used welded diffs for road racing and they create a lot of power-on understeer. Not an ideal solution for a powerful RWD car...
