Search and youll find people that have more experience but here is what ive gathered from reading up/talking to owners.

in order of lockup strength: Tomei, KAAZ, Nismo.
Nismo is usually quieter (most ppl say it barely clunks) and the lockup is not as harsh as the tomei and kaaz. Probably the best if you daily drive and track occasionally.
Kaaz probably has the best customer support since they have a kaaz shop in orange county (garden grove).
Tomei is esentially made at the KAAZ factory as well, but it has larger clutch plates resulting in a harsher lock-up.

Nismo can also use synthetic diff fluid which means every 5000mile fluid changes and not 3000 like kaaz and tomei (they cant use synthetic)

COST: Your going to pay a grand no matter what. figure a LSD is like 800. Install is usually around 150 at any shop. and you need a second can of LSD fluid for after break-in if you get a KAAZ or Tomei which is another 50 bucks. or 25 for a nismo. The nismo is a little cheaper but you sacrafice performance maybe a little bit.

Although no matter what LSD ppl use, you rarely hear about they breaking (unless its from improper installation or not following break-in procedures)

goodluck matey.

Depends the driving style and what you're building your car for. Mine is a DD which sees AutoX and some Roadracing action from time to time so I went with the S15 Spec-R HLSD and I love it. It's quiet, gradual, predictable, and bombproof.

The choice was clear, at least for me.

yrk323 · 01-27-2007, 01:28 AM

hlsd is not predictable at all, it randomly biases torque depending on load. a spool always delivers the same amount of power to each wheel, clutch type does pretty much. but yeah. hlsd is crap on a stick.

in reference to the original post, hmm, lets go with... hmm yeah phantom grip is the best lsd, get one of thoes. or the obx helical.

illvialuver · 01-27-2007, 01:30 AM

so if this is the stupid question thread, how about is it posible to put a 18 inch tire on a 19 inch rim, and drive it safely? im only joking , im not that stupid. sheeesh.

I had a s15 hlsd and I didn't have any problems with it. It was alot more predictable then the open diff.
