LSD & handling

[HondaFan81]

I'd like some details on PERSONAL experiences with those that had some kind of LSD transaxle and taking it to a road race/autox course and/or spirited driving around corners, etc. I'd like to know your experiences with how the LSD reacts in taking curves/corners at high speeds and please STATE what suspension mods you have too.

I know LSD will increase traction on take-offs, however they could cause you to "push-out" on corners...but perhaps with a lower center of gravity and better suspension it may help cancel this affect out and actually cause you to be able to take corners/curves harder under acceleration??

Please advise...thanks.

I drive like a maniac at least for a small portion of my commute everyday.
The lsd literally pulls you through the corner. I've had people ride in my car and be amazed at the extra grip available. [passanger drove a 99 H22 prelude] I used to brake into the corners, now at cruising speeds I acclerate into them. No wheelspin in the corner. I can usually get all 4 wheels screaming if I enter the corner a little hot.

Unfortunately I have to track/autox on this setup, still waiting to get a few bugs out.


LSD = teh win.

jdm h22, m2b4 h22 tranny with stock LSD, lowered on eibach sportlines :

i adore driving with it. pulling through turns you have surprisingly much more control, you pull into it and it just holds so well that you get to accelerate through it.

i dont want to overexaggerate but its really a significantly noticible difference, i love it.

THANK YOU guys SO much!! Both of you are awesome, I honestly was not expecting such good responses. I trully appreciate it!!

Awesome, I'm set on getting a M2B4 JDM H22 5spd LSD, sweet.

If any of you guys know where I can find this transaxle in good condition, let me know. I'm interested in getting one eventually.

Thanks.

IM using a quaife lsd ive had no problems with it i can take corners as hard as hell when i want. YOud be mazed at sometimes how people spend this and that that for a car and not handle in the corners like they say it should.

good. if youre looking for a tranny, it would definately be worth it to spend the bit more and grab one with an LSD.

you can buy one from hmotorsonline, or probably any of the other JDM motor importers... they are swimming in trannies and motors lol...

You got the power to validate a Quaife (I like them too, but it's probably overkill for what I need). Thanks for your input though.

For my application I'm fine with a M2B4.

BTW, I have an M2B4 lined up already I work quick!

Great news! Glad to hear it, from what I hear from friends of mine who drive LSD cars, they say it rides like a dream. I'm sure you'll love it. Keep us posted!

lsd is one of the best mods and most notable in any car and thats the straight truth now it also depends on what style is right for you there are plate style (kaaz) and gear style and so on my best experience with fwd lsd is gear style (quaife) it will give you uch more confidence and in my opinion they are one of the most noticable mods you can do except for oodles of power but in even a stock application they are the shit now no flaming please cuz i swear by quaife but ive got several budget minded friends that have been goin down the OBX route and after reading all the problems with the bseries guys i followed proper installation procedure in measureing and then replace bearings and such and ive got three friends that are rockin out with these they are basically a copy of the quaife and i even heard theyre are made there but if your budget minded try it out

Yea I'm familiar with how differentials work, I build them. Unfortunately for SUV/truck applications. Anyhow, I plan to get the stock LSD offered in the JDM H22, not an actual Quaife brand. Any reviews on the after-math from your friends on the OBX LSDs?

[AsheCb7]

sorry for gettin back late heres the deal the obx one works for all my friends and no probs yet after about half a year with one drivin very hard and two of then have had them for about three months and not drivin so hard and as far as im concerned the jdm trannys with lsd is actually a quaife made unit for honda from what ive heard not sure if its true
