must be cool to be so smart

and I was using the 1/1.5/2 ways to make the point. Thanks for your typical charming additions

I represent that remark

I do like almost everything about Torsens. They can be designed with virtually no decel locking (though they aren't always depending on the application) and they are very smooth and quick in engagement. The only thing I don't like is that they lose time over a clutch diff if the track is bumpy or requires curb hopping for a good time (they don't like being unweighted).

Hey Robi and Chronohunter

Seeing that you two are the suspension guru's on this board. I was wondering if you could add some input to my post and possibly sway my money in your direction.
