JDMBR9 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 what LSD are available for the jdm BR9 R160 rear diff and front diff? i see there is the torque locker but i think a progressive lsd would be better i see some are using suretrac is it as simple as buying one from any used subaru diff and fitting it into the br9 housing? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMBR9 Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 look up val racing on facebook then search r160 there is some info here,they seem to be a reseller https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LSD-Limited-Slip-Differential-For-Subaru-rear-gear-R160-VAL-racing/302625009764?hash=item4675db3064:g:7iwAAOSwq6hfU1Hb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 If that is the helical type lsd, the knock against it is both tires need traction for it to function as an lsd otherwise it is an open diff. If I had your JDM legacy I would probably just swap in an r180 and clutch type lsd. I believe the r180 is direct bolt in for JDM legacies with the sti axles.

FLlegacy Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 i cant find any info the R180 being a direct fit. which year and model sti rear axles are needed? thanksThe r180 will replace the r160 in any subaru USDM legacies have a wider rear track than JDM so the sti axles are too short as are the legacy axles. Check the track width on the sti and your jdm legacy. They are the same, knowing that everything from the sti bolts right in. AUDM is the same as jdm. As far as finding confirmation you'll have to search outside the US market likely Australian sites. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
