ive tried all VLSD (on s14) and a 2 way mechanical AND a 2 way clutch LSDs

vlsd: slow reacting, over time you'll regret having it for drift and need to upgrade

2 way mechanical: slow reacting (but faster then VLSD) and soon you'll regret having it for drift and need to upgrade

2 way clutch: the best you can buy for drift.


i have a 2 way mechanical. upgrading to 2 way clutch in the coming few months. i dont like the mechanical.


from moto at club4ag.com

2 way is preferred by users who want positive and stable LSD action in both decelerating and accelerating. it has a potential to make more initial understeer for those who have problems pitching the car with lack of skill or with suspensions that are tuned for high speed stability. Drifters prefer 2 way because of the more equal locking effect in both on and off throttle conditions.

1.5 is a compromise for those who seek more agressive turn-in as the wheels are more free to initiate turns in less agressive turning inputs. In autocross it might be beneficial as suspension tuning affects the initiation into corners less than 2 way. It offers less lock up in deceleration mode for those who prefer a more stable braking into corners. It offers the same acceleration lockup as the 2 way out of corners.
