Currently have a cosworth LSD but it can be hit or miss if it locks.
Tans-X and Gripper plated are the two I am thinking between - Would they come up for sale second hand often?
Of these which would be the better option? Car is not used as a daily driver.
Any advice welcome, cheers
You'll be lucky to find either second hand, and for diffing etc the Quaife would not be the best option. Gripper is probably best bet.
There are people who claim they tighten the original VC LSD....although what that seems to translate as is they take it apart, dump the VC fluid and ram in some metal plates to force the diff to lock....until it eats up the metal plates probably destroying the diff in the process. Not sure how long that takes.
The correct way would be new VC plates and fluid...but that is very expensive.
