Phantom Grip

[DesertNightEagle]

Just wondering if anyone bought the Phantom Grip Limited slip conversion kit? Does it work? is it worth $300? how hard is it to install?


Opinions are much appreciated(even if you dont have it)

only thing i have heard is, it is suppose to be good for the money, but I have also heard people saying it can mess up the spider gears, not sure exactly what but that is what I have heard

Wrong forum, moving.

Anyway, the Phantom Grip is shite. It's not a true LSD, and will only work for cornering, not drag launches.

thanks for answering

yup, it helps going in a straight line some, but nothing like a true lsd, shit I can't believe John Brown would even call it the phantom grip lsd (the man who created it I can't stand and lives 15 minutes from my house, has fucked up numerous rides locally.)

it rocks for an lsd. it rocks for drag launches. then you realize a month later. you just busted your differential because of a poorly made lsd. go with quaife

I've read numerous reviews that it does next to nothing for drag launches but is good for twisties. Or it may have been the other way around.

Either way, it sucks.

Other way around. It's basically a spring loaded locker... straight line for the most part.

That's what I said y0!

 

[get_nick]

you might as well weld the differential so both wheels spin. phantom grip will destroy the tranny. just like a block guard, you get what you pay for.

 

[JDMilan]

good analogy, block guard is to so called be able to run more boost/higher revs and phantom grip is to grip not slip.

I know one person who has tried one and he peglegged every launch anyway. Quaife is a great all around investment, for drag -a clutch stlye is going to give you the instant lockup you want over a torsion style though.

 

[DesertNightEagle]

do you have quaife's website, and how does it work?
