Mazdaspeed vs kaaz vs tomei vs os giken 2 ways
Looking to pick up a 2 way diff and saw theres a new mazdaspeed 2 way for sale ready to go for an alright price. Anybody with experience with them? Im guessing there not that aggressive and should save up for a kaaz tomei or evem an os giken unit. Any input?

Look on their site and they give you part numbers on the stub shafts -I remember I had to switch mine.
Just a evaluation of the deftforce from my friend which use to drift a S13 and now has a LS FC.
::Written for S13 drivers::
Description
Considered the definitive "drifting" differential by many. This diff has the most aggressive lockup characteristics and the biggest clutch plates of all the diffs available.
- Type: 2 way clutch type
- Price: ~$1050
- Number of plates: 16
- Can be used in open diff case or VLSD diff case.
- Largest clutch plates out of all the diffs.
- Highest lock up rate. 93% lockup.
- Comes with bearings, gaskets, seals, and new ring gear bolts.
Pros
- Best damn diff for drifting. Period.
- Oil changes every 6 months.
- Super aggressive.
- Makes the car snappy and hold rediculous angles. Angles previously thought to only exist on the moon.
- Did I mention its the best thing ever?
Cons
- Price. Its expensive. Whatever I dont care. I like quality.
- Uses super special fluid thats expensive. I use Royal Purple cause I dont care.
- Its loud. Yeah so what. If you buy this diff you better expect it.
Driving Impressions
This diff was hand crafted by Satan himself. Now, dont get me wrong, I was skeptical at first when I bought it. Honestly could a different diff that has slightly bigger clutch plates, higher lockup rate, and a name like Deftforce really be better...?
**** YES IT CAN! I was amazed by this diff. I dare say its the best thing I've done to my car. The diff holds REDICULOUS angles and allows for the funnest and most aggressive transitions I have ever tried. The difference between this and other diffs is very noticable. I will never own any other diff ever again.

I personally like the os giken for its adjustability between 2-way and 1.5 way. then again, I daily my car and like grip driving as well as drift duty so to each his own. I have never had any aftermarket lsd before though so I'm in the dark here listening to advice.
