Has anyone used the tomei limited slip diff centres?

Just curious... found some cheap (well used to be when our dollar was up against the greenback).

Wanted to know how they stack up against the usual suspects Kaaz, std torsen etc..

we reviewed one in a 350Z and it was excellent.

actually, we have been running one in our drift car for 2 years.

flawless performance.

a lot tighter than a kaaz.

With the Royal Purple Max gear mine still chirps like crazy. They're very tight...I love mine as well.

Thanks guys :D

Looks like it might be the go! By the way, even the standard lsd in my road car (NCLE 8) ) causes a protest from the tyres on tight lock - especially when cold :lol:

wont worry you then :wink:
just make sure you get the backlash and mesh set properly when you install it, dont just chuck the new bits in and go do some drifting

How much can you get them for and where as I may also be interested in buying one.
