I wouldnt leave it in 50/50 all the time. I dont think the rear was designed to handle that much power over an extended period. Just like the 5eat cant handle 100% of the power to the rear wheels

 

But in snow and stuff it should be fine and more fun!!

5eat downshift rev match:):wub:

Powder coated wheels: completed:)

I wouldn't either, just in low traction situations when it was warranted, but it would be nice to have the ability!

I am not positive, but I thought the 90/10 split on the 4EAT was a thing of the past. Does anyone have any concrete information if this still holds true nowadays? I know the 5EAT is 45/55.

How far in the past are you talking? Mine's an '05 and I didn't find out about the weksos 90/10 business until after I'd bought the car. I believe the newer ('08+ maybe?) 4EAT's have VTC/VDC and are a different ballgame, but if anyone knows better I'd love to hear it.

Wait a min...wtf digging up an over 1 year old thread....pfffft :lol:

 

I've done it...getting ready to go to bed. I'll post up the difference I found from the RS25 writeup when I get to work tomorrow. PM me if you would like to remind me.

 

DO NOT, and I repeat DO NOT use this on dry pavement. You'll flock up your center diff clutches quickly since when it's locked you'll bind like a 4x4 truck, and they'll overheat. Has nothing to do with the rear diff, Rear diff can handle the power just fine. IIRC rear diff on 3rd gen LGT Limited w/ LSD is the R160.

 

The 03/04 with sportshift are supposed to have the same center diff control as the WRX which does default to 45/55, I'll post about that too.
