Does Quaife typically offer choices of final drive gear ratio in their diffs? If not, do you think the 350EVO gears will be compatable?

Thanks,
Jeff

Ah, this is pretty fast if you ask me. When I used to own my Eclipse, those guys had to wait a good 2+ years of back and forth with Quaife before they were released for sale. Clint and all the other guys who helped with the research, thanks again.

Thanks,

I got an email from Quaife-USA that said that you have to reuse the ring and pinion that you have. Since the 350EVO final drive is swapped with stock, I hope that it will be equally easy to swap with the Quaife diff. I guess we won't know until someone tries.

educate us!

planning to get one. how's the nismo lsd working for you? I heard you can hear some noise even when going straight, any truth to that? who installed the unit, labor cost $$? thanks in advance

That's going to be standard with the Quaife LSD?

It's coming out ... I promise. There's also the reality of having the design and production plant in UK, which introduces even more delays for the release.

Production is IN PROGRESS ... time is all that's needed now. I will post updates when the time comes. Rough estimate is a few months.

The ATS unit Sharif's got is carbon 'clutch' based. Suppose to be a pretty nice, but I haven't any first hand experience with them.
