The SmartDiff
comes with four .15mm wire diameter springs installed. This
is a baseline setup that delivers a good balance of turn in
precision, and exit acceleration. Changing spring rates will
affect the timing at which the SmartDiff starts applying frictional
force to the smaller bevel gears.
In essence, the SmartDiff acts as though it has lighter viscosity
oil when entering a turn, but then acts as though it has thicker
oil on exiting the corner for increased drive. If the spring
count is decreased to only two .15mm springs, the diff will
not turn in as aggressively, but will drive out of the corner
harder.
For example, when two .20mm springs are installed with two
.15mm springs, the turn in will be more aggressive, while exit
acceleration will not be as aggressive. The SmartDiff comes
equipped with 120° ramp plates for a more aggressive on-power
drive (90° ramp plates (LOSA3605) are available
for aftermarket use, which will reduce the aggressiveness of
the on-power drive). |
