its the same thing. this has been coverd in previous topics before, its only $100 more then what quaife was charging. TRD bought the exclusive rights to the lsd so no one else can sell it but them.

If and when TRDSparks can get their hands on them, they'll be a little cheaper i bet

That thing is wildly expensive, and I'm not really blaming TRD for that. Where's my Phantom Grip plate differential?

Anything can be a dealer installed part or you can put it on yourself. It more than likely will carry the TRD 12 month warranty

so uh.. sorry for asking this stupid question, but what does a torque differential do again? I mean it's a LSD that helps in cornering when one of the wheels are turning faster/slower than the other right? Correct me if I'm wrong and pls explain more of what it can do. Thanks!

the LSD will only be used for the front wheels since those are the wheels powering the car, and will need the traction

what i meant to say was use the search button up top. a lot of people ask what you asked.

to sum it up: stock our cars have an open differential which means power goes to the wheel with the least resistance (traction). the LIMITED SLIP differential diverts power to a wheel WITH traction. or some of the power at least.

I think ... I almost have to say TRD did us a favor. Assuming it doesnt start leaking oil or cracking brackets lol

an additional $100 to maintain a warranty sounds like a good deal to me, if I understand that right.
