Retrofit LSD for 08 Exige S - LotusTalk

jlr · 09-07-2009, 09:32 AM

I'm looking into an 08 S without LSD (TC is std, I think). I am assuming that retrofit is no problem, and would be interested in hearing of anyone who has experience in the adding a LSD after the fact -- what they liked/disliked, how they used their car (track, street, autox). Also, interested in information on what LSD retrofit options are available and/or preferable -- Toyota, Lotus Sport (maybe clutch type), Quaife, etc? Thanks for any input.

Loving my Kaaz LSD. With open diff, had lots of wheel spin on certain corner; much improved with LSD - probably dropped a second on some tracks.
Rumors that my set-up issues earlier this year were related to this LSD, but not so, rather related to custom uprights.

I can also highly recommend the Kaaz close ratio gears, if you are tracking the car. Not so good for highway gas mileage. Also nosiy compared to stock gears.

How do the new gears transform the car, and/or match the power delivery?
