Plate diff or Quaife ATB

Postby bassboy on Sun Sep 24, 2006 10:47 am

what are your opinions and why when running a high powered FWD car? please bear in mind that the car will mostly be used on the road but will also be tracked and as many 1/4mile/top speed runs as i can...so call it about 80% of its life will be around town and 20% will be racing

there will be a high/low boost function to help traction

is the plate diff really that hard to use for everyday use? or are the advantages of having the plate diff outweigh its hard to turn characteristics?

i like the car to be fast and quick through the corners so the steering does need to have good feel to it around a track or when fast road driving

thanx for any input :top: :top:

plate diffs wear and need adjusting, ATB's dont. I know VW boys prefer plate diffs for track cars though
