I have a question. I am guessing that my 2010 LT is a single traction, where only the SS models have limited slip. What is involved in changing to a limited slip? Thanks

 

only ss models with the G85 package like my car have LSD. im pretty sure the tranny is all there is to getting LSD

 

Buying 1100 dollar LSD and uninstall, take apart tranny, install, put tranny back together and reinstall. Unless you plan on making big power, waste of time and money for you

 

False. Quaife sells an LSD for f23

 

you are still putting down power via both wheels, why do you think you have two axles. but with an open diff, if you start spinning the power will not be transferred to another wheel, it'll just keep spinning.

 

TTR can recommend a company that makes an LSD for the 2.2 cobalts.

 

didnt know that. my b

 

9 tims out of 10 I spin/ chirp both when launching or shifting. like stated lsd is not worth it unless you have alot of power.

 

LSD is mostly helpful in turns. When going straight an open diff will give more power to one wheel over the other but still spins both wheels. However, in a turn I believe the open diff gives the power to the inside wheel which will tend to spin. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

 

That's pretty spot on from my experience. There's a couple of LSDs out for the F23, Quaife's is like 1100. Or there's a code Green or something, cheaper but not sure about the longevity of the part.

 

I've heard OBX made an LSD for the F23 and that it had the same parts as the Quaife but wasn't put together as well. Either way OP unless you are putting down enough power to easily spin your inside wheel in a turn, which is unlikely unless you are going boosted, then going to the hassle of getting an LSD isn't worth it.

 

People get too caught up on launching and one wheel peel, we have a torque biasing diff available which is the best thing you can do for a fwd cars handling. It sends more torque to the outside wheel in turns which makes the front tuck in under under power, hugely reducing the understeer that front drivers naturally get. QUITE AWESOME. That's the benefit, it doesn't matter how much power you have either

 

thats why i never noticed torque steer. Only when i was turning and mashed the pedal is when i would notice tq steer. OBX makes a LSD for my trans. Anyone ever actually try that? sorry but quaife is too expensive.
