Anyone Using a Non-Ford Derived LSD?

I'm thinking along the lines of Impreza... I'm told they are only around the 20kg mark and very reliable (this was from a Scooby-Fanboy though!). Seem to have mountings that would lend themselves to a fairly easy mod.

I looked at a celica diff as they are torsen lsd (st205).
I would say a plus point is the lower stress they endure due to being 4wd, but might be made to lower spec. due to this.

I dunno, I think most of the jap stuff is made to withstand high power, think about all the tuned supras, scooby's and skylines out there, I know a guy running 800hp through standard supra transmission....





A bird in the hand....

Birkin, the South American Seven manufacturer uses Subaru differentials.

As an option at least.

as i understand it, Jap cars are limited on their power outputs. so manufactureres get around this by building them to the max power they're allowed, but making them very easily tunable. think skyline, supra etc as above
