Anyone heard anything about TRD's LSD? Are there any other options out there for LSD that are available for tC's? I'm pondering adding a new LSD to my list of todos. Hello guys I am new here and am looking for friends |

It's the Quaife LSD and TRD just purchased the vendor rights from them. It's a good LSD but over priced b/c it now says TRD. ![]() Complaining is futile when you supported the victory. |

how much more expensive is this LSD than other LSD that can be used for the tC? The average price I've seen for the TRD limited slip is about $1,000 |

There's a somewhat similar product, Phantom Grip, but it's not a full LSD....it's inserts into the differential and acts like an LSD. Somewhere around 500-600 i think. ![]() Complaining is futile when you supported the victory. |

If anyone is needing a good deal on an LSD I am trying to get a price cut on them from my rep, it is a long shot but I will keep you all posted. |

If you can get a deal for 500$ I'm golden for it well..........maybe ![]() Complaining is futile when you supported the victory. |

Quaife FTW!! damnnit.. TRD bought them..... but the best out there.. for sure. the Phantom Grip is a cheap solution.... if you want LSD... save up and do it right. LED Swaps and parts available! PM me for details, questions and/or quotes. There's Strong, and then there's RETARD Strong. Decelerate your life. The Few, the Proud...

Yeah save up and pay over 1500$ for a mod that unless your boosted OR in the habit of taking corners at 50mph it will never pay for it self... or get a Phantom Grip that will do all the above for under 1K... wow that was more intense than that one time I forgot how to sit down... |

i'd definitely consider a group buy on an LSD if the price is right. ............... ![]() ![]() ![]() Search or one of these adorable kittens WILL DIE! |

^HIGHLY doubt TRD is gonna let anything go on a group price.....that just sounds rediculous to me but it would be nice. ![]() Complaining is futile when you supported the victory. |

TRD wont but maybe a distributor will? ![]() |

TRD is the only distributor of that part as far as I know and I've heard. Unless a Scion dealership takes it upon themself to sell it cheaper, but that's unlikely. Kind of like the TRD S/C....no other dealers of the part other than Scion themselves. ![]() Complaining is futile when you supported the victory. |

^^yeah i'm a little curious to this my self. once TRD got their filthy hands on it the price went up and i stopped seeing it for sale anywhere else under the Quaife name. but just recently i could have sworn i ran into a site selling aftermarket tc parts and the LSD was in the list as "Quaife" wow that was more intense than that one time I forgot how to sit down... |

I checked out the quaife website, and they direct you to TRD now for any questions about pricing or ordering, so i'm guessing TRD is now the only option for purchasing the LSD ............... ![]() ![]() ![]() Search or one of these adorable kittens WILL DIE! |

Yeah, TRD bought out the Quaife license to sell those LSDs. Quaife builds them but TRD sells them with a noticeable markup in price. ![]() Complaining is futile when you supported the victory. |

Usually Quafie's run around the 1000 range, so its not that bad of a deal when you think about it. Just sucks cuz if im having a Diff installed, i midas well have a new clutch and flywheel ready to go while everything is dismantled. No sense in paying labour twice for a tranny drop. |

It helps deliver power through both wheels rather than just one. With an open differential, almost all the engine power is sent to 1 wheel and if it spins, you lose traction. An LSD senses the slipping and shifts power to the other wheel keeping grip. ![]() Complaining is futile when you supported the victory. |
