Hi,

I fitted a front one last year to my MY99 RB5. I already had the Power Station bump steer mods and stiffer rear ARB, but still had understeer on tight corners when thrashing it.
The ATB seemed to clunk a bit at first but is quiet now. I have no idea why?
I've done a few Sprints with it at Lydden Hill and understeer is eliminated completely. Turn in is also improved dramatically.
I'm perfectly happy with it.

Cheers,

Graham

P.S. If you look through my previous posts I asked the same question and had some good responses and advice.

Hi Mark,

Yes. 87.32 sec. 1 3/4 laps, fastest yet for me at Lydden on the 18th. June. All due to my Quaife ATB Diff no doubt! Not out again now until the 3rd. Sept. unfortunately. What are you up to?

Cheers,

Graham

I concur with graham, tight corners when you want to put the power down, you don't get increasing understeer with power. It's quite unnerving the first time you put your foot down and the front swings round where it's actually pointed. It's not the same as power oversteer I must add, and with lots of power, you get more forward motion instead of spinning an unweighted front wheel.

Clutch exploded in Dec so decide to refurbish the running gear. 8 month later 6sp drive train fitted and 2.5 US STi waiting to drop in now. Missed the majority of the All Circuits competition and will hopefully be ready by September to take-on the TVRs & Skyline.

I bought mine directly from Quaife, hoping to negotiate a discount but failed!
They are in Riverhead near Sevenoaks in KENT. You could always try out your negotiating skills with them first!

Cheers,

Graham
