Default No more Quaife...

Quaife diff for the tC is no longer available through ANY aftermarket retailer per Quaife USA. TRD bought the exclusive rights of distribution. THUMBS DOWN!!!!

Does that mean it might come standard in the near future? Or is TRD buying it so they can never make it again and we will be stuck with single tire fires forever But yea this sucks hardcore because I wanted to get one. Any idea when TRD will be releasing the LSD for the tC? ROFL This could be good or bad depending how you look at it. But I bet they will charge more.

Well that's just great. They weren't cheap to begin with, now we're probably going to have to pay another $600 for the part... I don't want to think what installation is going to be; they better have a warranty.

Yea well they saw the need for us guys to have a lsd and they jumped on the opportunity to make money as always. I'd just be really ____ed if they make it standard equipment or something on 08's.
