When the suspension is tuned too tightly, does a lifted drive wheel cause a lot of havoc on the Quaife? On coil-overs and Hotchkis sways, it seems that two wheeling occurs a lot more than usual.

ZPIracing is proud to announce the arrival of the Quaife LSD. There have been some rumors of these coming and we are here to confirm that they are in deed coming and coming soon.

Quaife North America has signed up as a title sponsor of the ZPIracing program and we are proud to be the first to offer these for sale. There are 30 available in the first batch with a large percentage of these being allotted to Zero Point. We are proud to be working with Quaife in the development and testing of this very high quality product and are proud to sell it and run it in our cars.

We have listed the LSD on our site and will remove it once 10 units are purchased as these are all we can guarantee.

We will post more info as it becomes available and at this time it has only been tested in 5spd applications. We will be raffling some sever discounts on these units as part of the Quaife sponsoring the Scionshootout.com

This is a great thing for everyone in the Tc world no doubt. I'm still talking to Turobnetics about trying to bring one of their Tcs to the ZPI shootout this summer. It will be running a Quaife and possibly some forged internals from well Forged Internals.com and Sharif :D

With a gear driven differential, such as the Quiafe, if the inside wheel lifts completely, this will cause the Quiafe to essentially become an open diff. Many FWD race teams use the Quaife, and have not reported any issues with the setup, as any tire lift is a momentary event, and doesnt upset the handling too much.

What about when the lifted tires suddenly hit the ground again? When the tires lift, the LSD throws all the torque into the lifted wheel and when it gains traction again, all of a sudden the torque distributes evenly. Such fluctuations in torque doesn't sound all that great but I guess it's normal and doable?

SCCA race teams and privateers have used Quiafe's on both RWD and FWD cars on the track, without any complaints. I havent raced one on a track yet, so I cant give you a first hand experience.
