RE: [VWC] Aftermarket differentials Braking

["Peter" <peter@thescirocco.com>]

While braking, I think a diff might slightly help during extreme
downshifting.
Isn't keeping the trans from grenading, and the handling improvement @ WOT
enough for you? ;) 

Give Gary Peloquin a call, he's a real good guy and usually entertained by
calls like this, 706.613.5339.

Let us know what he says...

On the diff subject, will a limited slip diff work to equalize braking as
well as forward traction??  Might have to ask the Pelican himself on that
one.  It's been a couple of years since I played with a Torsen, but just
from fiddling with it in my hands, it seemed as though it wouldn't.  Since
they bias the torque to the outside wheel in forward motion (i.e. the faster
wheel), the slowest moving wheel gets a sort of free ride.  In braking this
would mean that a wheel that locks up would get the same metaphorical free
ride.  I'm sure there is some resistance there, and surely more than an open
diff, but I'm wondering whether it really does its proper LSD action in
braking.  Anyone?
