I can attest for PPGs. Have helical 1-4, stock 5, billet forks with LSD built by Andrewtech. Get them used off NASIOC. Call up DS1 Motorsports for Mfactory gearsets and Mfactory LSD.

 

I don't think DS1 Motorsports is in business any more. There have been some pretty bad threads on Nasioc about people not getting their transmissions back, or getting the wrong transmission back, and the like.

 

I am pretty sure Andrewtech has been doing recent R&D with mFactory, so they should be able to set you up.

Where were you able to find this? I talked to a number of places and they were pretty consistent on pricing.

just did a quick check, they raised all their prices. Guess i lucked out on this one. Cheapest one i found in my area was 1380 with a new search 55k miles.

Too bad about DS1 if what you say is true. I got my LSD from them at a good price.

As I recall the Mfactory 1-4 was $2300 and LSD was $600.

 

What did you do to make the MFactory LSD fit? When I had mine installed we had to lop off a few millimeters to get the axel to lock in place, otherwise it would constantly pop out and leak oil.

Got it from DS1 about a year ago. They had one, otherwise it was many weeks wait with the guys on the east coast.

 

 

And I presume you still have the VCLSD on the back and you are extremely pleased with the combo ?

So I see that a used one is about 300 (or so, NASIOC).

What is the story with the 4.11 ring and pinion ? Non-existant for the R180 ? Because all Subarus with R180 rear have a 3.9 R&P ? while the R160 is 4.11 and we cannot borrow that ring and pionion set to mount the R180 ?

Seems a little shady. I didn't think they were staying open. MFactory says themselves they haven't heard from DS1 in weeks.

I saw that. Makes me nervous that the aftermarket 4th gear is narrower than the stock 4th gear...
