    Default Any have experience with the OBX LSD?

    It's a helical type so, they boast smoother torque steer and a lifetime warranty.

    Considering these LSD's are going for 450 bucks a pop, I was wondering if this was remotely worth the investment.

    Thoughts?


    It's WAY cheaper than the TRD, that's for sure.

    Yeap, but I don't plan on installing an LSD until the warranty is finished.

    The only reason why I ask is because it's a helical type, which I'm used to from years of driving Scoobys.

    Why does the worst brand have to create the platform I like, lol.

    Rather than having a bad reputation, they just have an inconsistent one. (I suppose that is a bad one.)

    All the Honda/Acura owners who've used their products recommend OBX, but when I worked on Scooby's, they were the laughing stock of the community. I checked out a TMIC made by OBX, surprisingly well crafted. Surface dimensions were slightly larger than stock, the welds were good, full bar-plate design as well.

    Then I check out some Exhausts and Intake and they literally break after use.

    Maybe, check out other forums to see what their experiences are?
