i found this on JEGS.com. tell me what all of you think about this product. is it worth it? will it really work?
Price: 250 bucks ![]() Turn your non-limited slip differential into a proven competition limited slip unit at a fraction of the cost of a complete new differential. The kit installs in your existing diff. and acts like a disc type limited slip in cornering and braking conditions and performs like a locker under hard acceleration. The perfect solution to hi-performance FWD with less-torque steer and power going thru both wheels to the ground. |

ive heard mike (calesta) refer to it as the "phantom slip"...i dont think it works very well from what ive heard, and it just goes to show you get what you pay for.

eh...over at ephatch.com people have diferent opinions and the folks that do own one over at clubrsx and k-series.com all seem to happy with the product. Actually there is a vendor for that company at ephatch.com, he had been answering questions and concerns. I have not seen or hear much of him as of late but then again I have not beento that site in a while.
for the most part people seem to like it. [IMO] yes, you do run the risk of messing up your car but thats where the fun in modding the car is right? if there were no problems moddin a car then it wouldnt be so fun. You gotta risk something right? [/IMO] |

It does work, but I still would prefer a real LSD in comparison to friction plates in your differential. With a setup like the Phantom Grip, you run the risk of breaking teeth and spider gears in your differential. I am contemplating getting one of these for my truck though.
