Anyone here experiment with initial torque on their LSDs?
I've been doing some reading on LSDs and how their initial torque affects their driving characteristics and behavior. One great example is this - http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticl...co-RS-LSD.aspx
I have a 1993 Evo 1 RS that I autocross and want to start lapping with. Recently I acquired an Evo X Ralliart Super Traction rear LSD (yes, I'm pretty sure it works in my car), it's a 20-plate unit vs. my original 12-plate (it's like the E8/9 but all of the plates are active and it's 2-way vs 1.5), and I'm guessing it really changes dynamics. I also have a Ralliart front LSD and Cusco MZ front LSD to choose from, both with very different characteristics; I believe the front diff's initial torque settings will be the most important. I also got my hands on an Adelia Magic mechanical center coupling, but its settings are anyone's guess.
That being said, has anyone experimented with initial torque on their clutch-type LSDs (either front, rear or center) to match a specific tire, or driving condition? If so, what happened?
