SPOON SPORTS - LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL - civic EK9 / integra DC2

The differential is a mechanical device that allows a flexible division of drive between the wheels allowing the car to corner. Load applied to the drive wheels during acceleration and cornering is always different from left to right wheel. Due to this wheel spin can occur causing loss of control and acceleration performance. The Spoon LSD is a device which automatically reduces the loss of drive which can result from wheel spin on one side of the axle. In turn this conveys power and torque through the wheel with the most grip helping the wheel accelerate the car. In other words it is a necessity for all sport and race driving. The Spoon LSD is of Mechanical Type 1.5 way to front wheel drive applications and 1.75 way for rear wheels drive applications. Initial torque has been set at 9-9.5 KG (cold). As a characteristic of the mechanical LSD there is some dragging of the internal gear that can be felt in low speed cornering and clicking sound that can be heard.
