Carbonetics Rear Differential
Carbonetics Rear Differential
I was just curious if anyone out there has got one of these installed in their car? It seems to be 5th on AMS's best seller for diffs so someone's gotta have it -
I know there are other options out there, just looking for opinions from people with this one - some of the claims on AMS's website include:
* More than twice the differential lock strength of metal LSDs
* High carbon friction material increases the coefficient of friction
* Friction coefficient of metal plate in oil: 0.05 ~ 0.15
* Friction coefficient of carbon plate in oil: 0.25 ~ 0.35

Not what you are looking for directly, but for $350 for the 12 or 14 disc rear diff mod from Shep, it's a great deal and made for a HUGE improvement over stock.
The 12 disc locks up well enough that I get the "tire scrub" sound a 4-WD truck makes with locked hubs when making U-turns. Shep recommended the 14 plate for nothing but rally cars that see loose traction conditions constantly.
The addition of the RS front diff and the 12 pack rear diff has made the car very RWD feeling. Particularly in slippery conditions.
