Question about LSDs
i was gonna post in the suspension forum but this section gets more traffic.
i have a torsen LSD from an FD i was going to install into my FC. i currently have the stock clutch LSD. i was wondering your opinion on which you feel is better for drifting/autoX. i hear great things about the torsen but there's gotta be a reason why alot of FD peeps swap them for clutch-types. i read that quite a few FC peeps just upgrade their LSDs w/ a Kaaz clutch type or whatever. i've never driven w/ a torsen LSD so i really dont know the difference other than what i have read. i'm pretty happy w/ my clutch LSD and the fact that it is rebuildable which is why i havent had the torsen installed yet. i'm afraid, i get it installed and then decide i like the clutch-type better...i dont wanna waste anymore money. so any INFORMATIVE opinions are appreciated.
thanks
