    How Differential and Limited Slip Differentials (LSD) Work

    Car wheels spin at different speeds, especially when they're turning. So how does the differential help make them turn with such ease?


    Anyone in the know please feel free to add thoughts about diff upgrades specific to our E30s

            Its all about controlling those spider gears. LSD spider gears are most stout than open.

                    Which type of LSDs do E30s have? Are they clutch or viscous?
