I called one of the distributors that sells the PhantomGrip LSD product here in Texas. They sell mostly to FWD customers. They did tell me that the 904-green listed in the web page uses lighter sprin

Who is the Texas Dealer? I will probably go home for Christmas so I'll ask Santa for one. I guess time will tell what springs need to be used on our cars. If they are too strong it may lock all the t

Does anyone have any idea how these things work? First, what's the theory--I can't tell what it's supposed to do by looking at the pictures. Second--do they work, and how long. For what I see in the

I can see exactly how it is supposed to work. The springs force the two plates against the internal diff side gears, and depending on the forces involved will prevent them from turning to some extent

I can see that too, but the question I have is how does it "lock" under higher loads. The only thing I can see is that perhaps the centripetal forces are high enough to force the two plates further

I can't see that it would ever lock, but the limiting slip would keep driving at least one wheel if the inner one lost traction. John Kipping -- Original Message -- From: "Susan and Jack Brooks" <tr3

I'll try one, if you have one to ship, for the spitfire. Do you recommend the spring upgrade??? I guess the question is, Do you have one in stock as you would recommend it??? If so, second question

I don't think anyone is claiming that it Locks or makes the Diff stronger. It's pretty obvious for that happen you must change the the diff all together or have the weak links in the original made f

Actually, the website claims that it is progressive and ultimately locks the diff because the friction plates tilt. I don't see how, but that's just me. And the installation site shows gears being mo
