Hi all,
I was wondering how much abuse a standard ( uprated) ford LSD can take?
Going to buy myself a cts box but thought a stage 1 with an uprated ford lsd would be fine if i don't trash it every week.
The engine it's going on is a 2.0 ZVH running about 1.3 bar.
As the difference in prices between stage 1 and stage 2 (only difference is stage 2 has an quaife dif) is a lot i was wondering if i could get away with the stage 1 box....
Thanx all..

Ok and you'll use the stage 1 box?
My ZVH is currently kicking 215 bhp @ o.7 bar but it ll be close to 250 or so @ 1.3 bar wich it's going to make this summer...
The guy who sells them keeps telling me the ford uprated dif would be to weak ( especialy because the zvh produces masses of torque ) ...... well depending on how you drive it i guess...
What's your oppinion?

Ok thanx...
But the internals of the boxes of both stages are the same, only difference is the quaife dif.
If the uprated ford dif gets knackered i can always replace it later and won't have to buy a whole new box i.m.o.
