I own a 1995 Civic EX and im looking to getting a limited slip. I know Quaife makes one, but i saw Phantom Grips limited slip conversion for like $300. Im wondering if anyone knows anything about the Phantom Grip or should i save up and get the Quaife?

 

save for the quaife

 

I've heard bad things about phantom grip.

 

Alright, well when i order, do i need to buy anything else to put the LSD in? I have the stock D16z6

 

You have to pull the transmission and have a transmission shop do it unless you know your way around a transmission and have all the special tools. You don't need to buy anything else, just make sure you refill it or have it refilled with Honda MTF, as well as making sure your axles are in good shape while they're out, the CV boots mostly.

 

What bad things have you witnessed?

I tried researching this awhile back and as scaring as the concept of Phantom Grip sounds, people have yet to show actually data of these things harming your open diff. In fact, some review sites were surprised at how well it worked, held up, and didn't cause "bad things".

The jist I got out of it, was that Phantom Grip is actually a pretty good non-competition way to get a less expensive LSD. For street applications, it's probably great.

(And if any morons out there need the obvious stated Yes, the Quaife LSDs are better, you get what you pay for.

 

I don't know if you plan on racing but an LSD is a waste of money for the street personally. Alot of money and labor just to have an LSD that the car will never see a track.

 

it adds some fun to spirited daily driving!

im gonna be running an obx lsd

 

I know OBX makes some, but they are OBX...

 

im with snoopy,
save for the quaife,
