i was looking for a limited slip differential.Most Audis dont run full time 4 wheel drive like stis and evos. replacing the diffs would help performance out alot.

How would it be any different. Do you drive in the dirt. When do you ever lose traction? Thats right, you don't. It is what it is. Its designed to get power to the ground. If one wheel slips then it powers the rest of the wheels to give you maximum traction.

it has nothing to do with tire spin, most awd cars have charecteristics of both front and rear wheel drive when taking hard turns. Replacing the factory differentials wich place most power to the rear wheels would eliminate this problem as well as launching the car from a stop.

The sti's and evo's are fast so they can get off of the line quicker. Upgrade your turbo and replace your stock clutch and you to can get a better launch. Dont waiste your money on diff's.
