    Does anyone know which LSD is better out of the standard R26 GKN Driveline or Quaife?
     
  2. Quaife all the way
     
  3. I'd be surprised if anyone's personally experienced both on track...
     
  4. Both look to be torsion diffs so you have the same advantages/disadvantage with both. Better off with the big name though probably.
     
  5. I wonder how much of the improvement people report from fitting a Quaife comes from simply having a newer, fresher diff.

    Reason I ask is garage suspect my diff has gone. I've been told it's not serviceable so will probably have to get a Quaife.

    I don't want to get a Quaife if the R26 lsd is better though as it makes the car imo.
     
  7. Just throwing it out there, any thoughts about a gripper diff?

    Gripper is a plate diff and not fit and forget like a Quaife.

    It would be what I'd go for if mine was just a track car.
     
  9. My mate has a gripper in his R26, awsome , big difference over standard diff, just need to get the right oil in it other wise their very noisy, his is fine now he's changed to a different oil, no noisier than standard now, but on track it's day and night

    What's it like on the road Steve?
     
  11. Like a normal one
     
  12. Normal
     
  13. My other mate fitted the diff for him inc rebuilding his gear box
     
  14. Gripper is a good shout but need servicing, how regular depends on the usage.
