Someone I can get in touch with. I didn't think it was out of the question, but maybe so. I went with an aftermarket diff, anyway. I should have it in a few days and be back in business. Woot.
Yeeeeeeah. yeeeeeeeeeeeeah. I know: wanting to get a quote and discuss options before shipping my stuff. Silly, I know. :P

Looks like you arrange the plates and align the cam angle depending on how you want the car to react. Very cool stuff. I'm seriously geeking out, right now LOL

Yeah, the customization is pretty awesome. I found a complete guide, in English, that goes over how to set up the RS, MZ, and Hybrid diffs. Very interesting read. It breaks it down with drawings, so even I can understand it

As for accel, looks like we can also set 60%, 80%, and 100% lock. I'm also trying to figure out where I want that.
I'm definitely going to to have to find more resources. Why can't school be this interesting (I'm supposed to be doing homework right now LOL).

The "way"s just denotes how the diff behaves. A 1 way only locks under acceleration, a 2 way locks under acceleration and deceleration and a 1.5 locks under acceleration and deceleration but with more lock in accel than decel and that's where the finesse of adjusting it comes into play. Some people prefer 1 ways over 1.5 ways, and vice versa, but it mostly depends on your driving style and what kind of driving you're doing. I've never heard of people actually using 2 ways for competitive driving except for some rally cars.
It can be if you go to the right school

You can't just toss your new diff in there. You have to check/set bearing preload and gear backlash.

It's like $1100 for all the options IIRC, and there is no point to not get all the options. Maxlock, HD side cover, Sight glass rear cover, new bearings/seals, shot peening, correct setup of Gear backlash/Contact pattern and bearing preloads.

Too much lock on decel? That's my main concern. I don't want to have too much and have to fight that on turn in. From what the guide says, it recommends 2-way for road racing. ... but I dunno about that. I think I understand that it mentions changing the cam angle to determine how quickly the diff locks up, then also pressure plates to determine "There are three different types of pressure rings; 1-Way & 1.5-Way, 1-Way & 2-Way, and 1.5-Way & 2-Way". That's kinda confusing. Then there is plate configuration for amount of lock, but nothing on the springs. Maybe "springs" are the same as "pressure plates"?

here's a great article on the cusco. I believe it goes over what the springs do, and I believe it's the opposite of how the springs in the os giken works. it's been a while since I read the article though, but the diff itself should pretty much be the same as ours.

I did have too much lock on decal for my setup and driving. not so much anymore. guide is wrong about 2-way. mine is still 1.5 way, it's semi-locked on decal. I'm kind of curious about a 1 way set up, but I'm not sure that is ideal either. I thought the cusco could be set up "1.3" way, which I'd do. and you can do the same deactivation of clutch plates for less lockup that mitsu had with our diffs from the factory.

Yeah, Weir is the only company I've seen smooth plates. Every other diff I've seen, including TRE's, uses oil grooves. My spidey senses were going off when I was installing the Weir stuff, but I figured "meh, they must know what they are doing". Often times I'm too trusting.
