I have been playing with the idea of a detroit locker in the rear of the sc they sell a toyota style carrier in 7.5 (23 spline) 8" (30 spline) 8.875" (30 spline - 19 spline) ive been researching and wondering if anyone has played with this wierd idea they are only 479 compared to the price of lsd and alot more reliable any input positive or neg please
I know some people use them draging and some old work trucks have them. seems like a good alternative to welding, seems like it would be more reliable. If you end up doing it, please post it up because Im thinking of welding the oem open and if you have success with the locker diff I might go that route
it wouldnt be nearly as bad handling wise as a welded they disengage automaticlly on turns as long as you stay off the gas in the turns as soon as youn get on the pedal its 100% torque to both wheels if the nascar **** can turn at high speed with them why not try

I agree. Wayyy better than welded.
For street use I think this would be a very good idea.

Totally incorrect! A locker does exactly as it says, it locks the differential. A locker doesn't disengage on turns it is just like running a welded diff. A LSD disengaeges.

youre wrong, a spool is whats stays locked at all times detroit locker is an old locking diff technology its strong but very loud when it engages and disangages.
I have a locker in my 4x4 and although very handy for traction i would not like one in my soarer. Turning into tight corners i.e parking spaces is a nightmare. Nice when it unlocks and you get the clicking but the moment it locks you know. My diff also Sheds a lot of metal filings after a lot of use. IMO lockers should only really be used in 4x4's spools for drag and LSD for everything else. Could you not source a LSD from a crashed Supra?
