quaife



So which would you suggest, Dan???  After hearing all of this I'm sort of
torn now.  I've always thought that the Quaife was God of the differentials
but if the Peloquin is similar, comes with more parts (bolt kit and
bearings) and has a better warranty which one would be the ideal LSD for the
street?
