Choosing the Right LSD or Diff Centre for Your Race Application
Drift, circuit, drag or rally? Each discipline asks something different of the diff centre. Here is how we match the LSD to the racing you do.
George Bull, owner 1 min read
There is no single best race diff. A drift car wants full lock up all the time, a circuit car wants a progressive centre that does not upset the balance on turn in, and a drag car just wants both tyres hooked up in a straight line.
Matching the centre to the discipline
- Drift and drag: a spool or a locker, or a tightly set clutch type LSD
- Circuit and hill climb: a one way or 1.5 way clutch type, or a helical unit for a tidy handling car
- Rally and gravel: a clutch type with a strong preload to keep the car driving on loose surfaces
