i got the lsd from zisco and it came with new bearings fitted already so didnt have a problem there :rockon::rockon:

thats fine but as the guys above have mentioned what i was getting at was how did you set the preload on the bearings?

it may be working fine now but 1000miles down the road when the diff starts to wine or gets excessive backlash because it wasnt set correctly, youll have to pull it out and apart again or it will start to chew out the final drive gears and excessively wear out the clutch packs in the diff.

easiest way is to use an inch pound torque meter

right the preload was checked on the new bearings and they didnt need any shims so its all good and the lsd makes such an improvement to the car in launching and cornering cant believe i went without one for so long lol :):)

Did you have a stock lsd or no lsd at all? Great update tho and a great diff choice.

I drove a GT with no-lsd at 170bhp and my 270bhp Starlet with an lsd and the difference is day and night!

The non-lsd GT spun even in 3rd gear with power down in the dry and mine would grip in high 2nd.

well its not going to eliminate it completely but it does help ,the way our cars deliver the power especially on bigger turbos its going to be hard to get no wheelspin , but its not just for this i feel a lot more confident entering corners and exiting as without the lsd i was being pulled all over the road ,
definitely one of my top buys :):)

Thats how i feel when entering corners mate, i think a lsd is definately going to make me feel better. Have to be my next purchase after my brakes :)
