ABS and LSD

I was building a car online and found out LSD and ABS aren't compatibe (correct me if i'm wrong). I'm just wondering why it's so, and if i can't get both for my FR, which is more worthwhile? thx.

I don't think your friend knows wtf he's talking about. But an LSD is far more important. In fact, I've disabled my ABS because it feels unnatural. Plus controlling brake lock is fun on the track XP

ABS VS. LSD

I say ABS is GREAT on Rainy Days

But lsd is Great on the track or for drifting.


But if u never drive the car to its limits just go with open diff and no abs u don't need either.. lol

correct me if im wrong

an open diff is where both wheels are spinning at the same speed at all times (i hope im right), vs an lsd which is there to allow a slipping wheel and a gripped wheel to operate at different speeds so that youre not just spinning both tires. for example. say your left rear wheel is on an ice slick, but your right rear wheel is on dry pavement. if you have an open diff, you will apply the accelerator, but because the icy wheel slips, so will the regular one. but if you have an lsd, the icy wheel will keep spinning, but it wont make the right one spin, allowing you to break free of the ice. i hope that helps, and if im wrong about any of this, please correct me.

Actually, open dif is. Lets say you do a burnout with an open dif, one wheel will burn out and one wheel will stay still. An LSD makes it so both wheels would burn out.

lol wha? i meant for the is300 site. i don't know of a site that lets you build ne car u want. (unless it's a video game 8-) ).

also, so stock cars w/o LSD or Open diff. spin ...both tires at once? so what would be the difference from getting the one that has both spinning the same, and a stock car?

......

shameless plug for the site but honestly, on LSDs visit this thread.
http://www.drifting.com/forums/showt...&threadid=6800


Also video games and online sites like that arent a great way to learn about cars. Your buddy is probably the same guy who says he wants a "stage 2 turbo" or "Na tune up"

I think you are confusing this with AWD applications... In an AWD vehicle, the ABS computer can not compensate for 3 LSDs... which is why the evo RS, which has a helical lsd in the rear, does not come with ABS

But there should be absolutely no problems with RWD applications

whats up with all this questions about lsd's im just laughing my *Censored**Censored**Censored* of!

abs are for the brakes category

lsd and open differentals are transmission category

1 way lsd= one tire spins
1.5 way lsd=grip driving
2 way= drift driving

abs is a computer that balances the pressure you put on the brake pedal so that they wont lock up and have you slidin into a mailbox

it takes skill to drive high speeds with out abs you have to know how to balance brake pressure so that they wont lock up.

uh maybe you drive a honda or other FF but in RWD cars, LSD are in the differential not the transmission, also 1 way is full lock on accel, 1.5 is full lock on accel nad partial on decel, 2 way is Full lock accel and decel

Yeah, LSDs would be considered part of the drive line. Although in RWD locations they are not in the transmission, they are between the rear wheels. (and not "in the differential, either... an LSD IS the differential.

Incorrect. It has a front helical limited-slip. The rear diff is a clutch-type limited-slip.
