[Supras] Checking LSD for proper operation...

[Brian Walker]

If I end up having to replace the clutches in mine I'll look into this.
It seems like it should take a lot more torque to allow the rear to slip
but I guess when it comes to having the tires rotating at different
speeds, that's not as much as it sounds like.

Have you used the Torsen rear Geoff? Any luck with it? I've heard the
MK4 guys rave about the TRD rear but only heard neagatives about the
aftermarket MK3 units (theses might have been drag applications though)

Well..time to crack open the stocker and shim it.

I'll see if I have another turbo 5spd stocker already shimmed in the
garage.

I try to set them up to 70-80FtLbs for RR work on sticky tires.

You CAN go higher, but if you go too high, the car will push madly at
low speeds because you cant break the LSD free at turn-in.

But 45-50 is too low, IMHO.
