I've decided not to get an insert, but I'll leave this here for you all to respond if you'd like and for others to read who are debating this product.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey guys,
My W5M33 transmission (GSX, manual) is apart to receive new 3-4 components and it's a damn shame that I've already blown my piles of cash at the beginning of the season because I'd love to take this opportunity to install a great new Quaife for my front LSD since everything will be disassembled anyway.
If you were in my position, would you reassemble the transmission with the stock front open LSD or would you add a Rip Grip LSD insert? All E-pinions on this forum are about the effectiveness of (drag racing) launches and go in both directions. What would this sucker do for corning? (under/oversteer during turn-in, mid-corner, exiting; during trailbraking or power-on corners)
If I understand the mechanics of how something works, I can usually take an educated guess on how it will make the car behave around a corner, but there isn't much info on how this product works.
Here's to hoping that Tim (Twicks69) adds his transmission expertise but I don't know if he watches our silly handling section
I hope you guys are enjoying this racing season!
FLAME SUIT ON!
