The Traction Concepts model looks like the old Phantom Grip, AKA: phantom s=
lip as in it doesn't work very well. I had the Phantom Grip with the heavy =
duty springs. It worked for almost one hill climb event. I shipped the diff=
 out to them for their"extreme" treatment. They re-machine the spring seats=
 to accept bigger heavier springs. Again worked for about one hill climb ev=
ent. I suspect with the dry installation of the friction blocks it took tha=
t long for the oil to work in between the blocks and spider gears. This was=
 just my experience with that diff. Maybe with street tires in non-race con=
ditions it may work better. My recommendation is to stay away from that one=
.

Jason,


Take a look at these options. Marcel uses the Yukon I believe and the other=
 lets you convert your diff to a LSD..
I have tried neither but they look like good options to the Quaife.
