sti suretrac or quaife lsd for front?
Guys,
Help me decide!
I am getting Sti RA gearsets installed by Rallispec this month. I am look to install a LSD for the front. Rallispec recommended the "STI Suretrac" for around $900 and I noted that some member went with the Quaife LSD - front for around $1,150.
I have read great things about quaife but mix comments about sti suretrac. I am confused?? I don't mind spending a couple of more bucks for a superior setup. The car is my daily beater. Will see no or rare track/autocross. Could the differential member gurus out there break it down for me and help me decide on either the STI or Quaife?
Thanks you in advance,
Chuck

my understanding is that the Quaife i superior for daily driven vehicles on paved surfaces. since it's helical, there isn't the noise or vibration associated with clutch type LSDs. it also has a much more linear application of the limited slip function (for lack of a better way of putting it). it's not as good on ice or gravel, for the same reasons that it's good on pavement. unlike the suretrac, it will allow a wheel to spin freely on a patch of ice, or when it's i deep gravel, whereas the suretrac won't. if it was my car, i'd go with the quaife.
