Rx8 Limited slip

Mazdaspeed RX8 Limited Slip (2 way)

Not to tech savvy.. never heard of 2way.. heard of others... so could anyone give me insite on what this would do..

Im guessing it would force both wheels to turn at the same time?




Thanks guys..

the rx-8 comes stock with a torsen (torque-sensing) lock up differential. going to a 2 way locking differential would only change the characteristics of off-power lock up.

A 2 way means that it functions under both acceleration and deceleration. And a limited slip is a form of posi so it does force both wheels to spin but allows the outer wheel to spin faster so you can turn easier.
