    Re: New Budget Limited Slip Differentials

    What unit is it modeled on? Sounds like the OBX, though I suppose you could have used a Quaife or Peloquin as the basis...

    Considering the price for an upgraded OBX (new washers, deburred and cleaned), you're really not far off. More than fair if you ask me, especially with your up-front investment in both money and effort.

    Just make sure them pesky gears are cut in the right direction : http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/sh...SD-(long-post) I still wonder if that was just a BS quality oversight, or if it was done on purpose to squeak past patents.

    I would really make this work for the neon community, if anything just to get the pricing down (not that its bad). There is way more neon guys then us.

    Agreed. There was equal panic expressed by the Neon guys when the OBX went away. Doesn't that application also work in some DSM's too?

    It is pretty bad when we're talking about relying on the owners of 10-15 year old economy cars to buy performance parts in order to drive down the price of performance parts for our 25-35 year old economy cars, hahaha.

    I don't see pricing coming down much from where it's at. The next discount level requires over 300 units to be purchased on the first order. I don't think we will reach that plateau even with the help of the Neon and Eclipse community.

    Re: New Budget Limited Slip Differentials

    **UPDATE** IT'S A GO!!!!!

    We decided to start with the 520/523 version since the demand will be higher keeping costs down. We will be taking pre-orders later this month.


    Thanks for everyone's input!!

    The most important reason for us to manufacture these units is to offer an affordable LSD option for the community. The OBX LSDs had an extremely good track record. We were only aware of 1 or 2 failures which is not bad for 1000's of units sold. From what we understood the failures were attributed to the customers installing the upgrade bolt/washer kit themselves without using Loctite and/or torquing the bolts properly. Because our new LSDs will already include the better washers and bolts it will not be necessary to service them. To add an extra layer of insurance we are currently working with the manufacturer to back them all up with a Lifetime Warranty.

    We are confident that our new LSDs will endure all the abuse our cars can dish out. Due to all the reasons mentioned above we are comfortable having these LSDs manufactured at the same location as the OBXs. For those of you that are looking for something different there will always be the Quaife units that are still available on our website at a higher price point.

    Hope that answers your question,

    Re: New Budget Limited Slip Differentials

    Hey Chris. How are these coming along? I am trying to get a 568 together, but so far unable to find a good intermediate shaft and ring gear. I have had offers for a 523 shaft but I do not have a differential. Anyway, I may be interested in the 523 diff if they will be available in the near future.

    Thank you!
    Doug
