Other than that we have had no problem with the stock diff yet, but we a rescheduled to go to the drag strip with a bit stickier tire in the next few weeks and I think that if there is any time that we will test it's strength it will be then.

Quaife lsd group buy...
Let's keep this thread on track and get these things made. Anyone serious about tracking or autocrossing their evo will benefit.
The tech from quaife said they will build it sooner if there is interest.
Sign up if you got coin and are serious! We need more than 5...
Kudos to RRE for getting the ball started by sending out stock diffs. That should take care of speculation about fitment issues etc.

The diff case itself was the only part that broke, and that was only due to the high torque load on the stock jdm peice. I have full confidence in the quaiffe units having used them for years in DSM applications.\

center vs. front lsd...
but will we have to change the center diff as well? this doesnt seem clear here
Per Roger at quaife/autotech, they can make a front, middle or rear lsd. With RRE sending out evo 8 stock diffs they should be plug and play. The tech at quaife said it isn't that big of a deal to do the front. You will not have to buy the middle to use the front .
It would just be a nice addition though!
To clarify, This list is to sign up for buying the front quaife lsd...

I'd be interested if it was less than a grand... but I don't see how Quaife would take us seriously if none of us know what they'd charge for the thing..

Some where probably around to north of a grand. If you are not sure about it= probably not for you. Track use and autocross should be a significant advantage if you are really into that.
Sign up only if you are serious.
We will get real price from quaife after the r & d on the rre stock diffs is finished in any case.

I'll tell you, I would love to have Quaife diffs in all 3 locations. Front first, rear second and middle last. The only question on the middle diff is what split they'd go with. Hopefully you'd have the option of 36/65, 45/55 (my choice) or 50/50. As for the front, I think a 1.5-way would be optimum with a 2-way in the rear. I can only imagine the sick traction we'd get out of corners... YES!!
