TRE Max-Lock Rear Diff Demonstration
Just an Update... I have been beating on the car non stop since the install with AutoX event after AutoX event. Highway miles and some drag racing... The diff still feels awesome! Locks great and feels perfect. I can honestly say this was by far the best MOD i have ever put on the car.
Do you mean noise or lock up? There is no decel noise, but their is a cruising whine in mine right about 65mph. It was much louder with the redline NS fluid in there but now it almost as quiet as stock.
As far as decel lockup goes, you can now get rotation on acceleration and deceleration if the rest of your setup is up to snuff. If I have front grip (not in a steady understeering state) then I can use the throttle to kick the back end around or lift to get it to come around. But the nice thing is that both ways step out very progressively and in a controlled way. Hard to explain but its a massively far cry from how the car behaves without the diff.
I still have a too much rear bar because my rear springs aren't stiff enough (10k/12k) leading to the inside lifting on turn in but a stock rear bar and 12k/16k should fix most of that.

When you lift off the throttle, the rear comes around. How would you rate the decel? Like a 1.5 way or a 2 way?
Im pretty sure TRE does a 1.5 way as standard but Ive heard you can get a 2 way if thats what you wanted. I would stick with the 1.5way though, much more lock up could possibly lead to snappiness.
Cruising whine would have nothing to do with the plates. In a straight line, that would have to do with the backlash.
I wonder if whining while cruising should be a concern?
Here's a great vid explaining how everything should be setup and why.
The rearranged stock plates work nice, however I'm thinking about going with their 12 plate setup.

the first thing i noticed was the lack of understeer but didnt know what your susp setup was. that thing is amazing though! very nice purchase, congrats! on a side note, that was the first autox video i actually enjoyed watching lol
My suspension set up is STANCE XR's 10K/12K shocks were set on the softest setting. Tires were 255/35 dunlop z1 starspecs.
Lol thanks man. AutoX videos are hard to make interesting. If you have any suggestions id definitely listen. Im always up for new ways to make videos that people will like.
