LSD rebuild with 944 discs?

[dnick]

Has anyone done this? searched and didnt get anything.. Ive heard that the clutches are a little thicker and provide more lock up..

[priapism]

Is the diff the same or something? How would 944 clutches fit?

Its similar in some way, i cant find the link that explained why..
and apparently the discs fit, you just need to flip the dog ears.

Im not sure how much more lock up they give though, thats why im asking if anyone has done this before.

What's the point of using 944 discs again? You know you can get OEM discs for less than $50 a pop from your local dealer right?

I picked up four of them last year and had a forum member in SF build me a new diff with 4 discs.

you flip the dog ears because you need a fresh friction surface if you're servicing the diff.

it apparently ramps lockup from ~25% to 3-something% or 42%. I can't remember the exact numbers. Yoshi did a write up. As I understand the factory discs are 2mm and the porsche ones are 2.1, so constantly more friction.

They will be stronger than factory, even simply replacing the ones that are in there now, not even adding more.

hmm soo it kind of is worth it then? because i saw that you can get the 944 discs for under 50...

More lockup isn't necessarily better. It depends on what your intended purpose for the car is.
