phantom grip diffs



According to Peter's site Ron's on the money. The 80% (on what basis did
they pull that number out of their butt!) kit will work with the Peloquin
LSD.
>From presonal experience, it will not work with the Quaiffe.
In case ya'll are not aware the Quaife does have preload. There are some
belleville washers in the center of the unit. My personal subjective opinion
(from laying under the car and turning tires) is that this preload is a
little stronger than the stock spring preload. I've never messed with an
"80%" kit, so don't know how strong it is compared to the Quaife preload.
Quaife preload can probably be adjusted if you're so inclined.
Anybody have any idea if the Peloquin has internal preload??

I am pretty sure the

Quaife.  Someone will correct
