LSD -- KAAZ vs Carbonetics (ATS Deftforce)

[RightWheelDrive]

I have a ATS 2-way. I love its response and would definately buy it again. I have not tried a KAAZ so I don't have anything to say about it except I hear many good things about them. My advice is to get the one that is cheaper to maintain (ie, gear oil, rebuild costs,etc) since that adds up...very quickly.

Yea I was thinking the same thing. Maybe we can make a list of acceptable gear oils for the two diffs, and compare pricing of rebuild parts and oils.

Either way you go is going to cost you a decent chunk of change in the end...I know with Kaaz you can run Dyno GL-5 80/90 and then add friction modifer (5-7 bucks at CarQuest) and be done with it...I guess for lack of better term, worry less about the price, and worry more about it working....

I change my oil ever other oil change...the cost of gear oil and modifier is pennies...resist the urge to buy some crazy JDM stuff and save it for fluids


PS: Very aggrevating to purchase domestic diffs for 400-600 dollars (for full on mechanical ones too, like a Detroit TrueTrac) when ours cost 800+
