MAX-LOCK REAR DIFFERENTIAL UPGRADE SERVICE

The MAX-LOCK rear differential upgrade. With over 200% more surface area and 60% more lock-up, the EVO will now rotate better when you get on the throttle versus understeering upon exit of a turn. Think Dukes of Hazard.

How does it drive? AWESOME!!! Finally you can manhandle the EVO and it responds like it should have in the first place. With the increased lock-up the EVO will no longer understeer and actually require some counter steer upon exit much like a RWD car but with the benefits of AWD. With the MAX-LOCK you can use conventional suspension settings and focus on setting up the car for max grip instead of doing crazy things like zero camber, stupid stiff rear sway bars, way too much spring rate and 60psi of rear tire pressure.

Will this make the EVO quicker around the track? YES!!! Autocross EVOs are knocking over a second off every 60 seconds of track length and road racers are achieving quicker lap times due to the ability to use the whole track versus a narrow line and this comes in real handy for those who are racing on a road course with traffic. Another benefit is longer front tire life because you don't have to crank the steering wheel to the point of the front end washing out just to get the EVO to stay off the grass on the outside of the turn. We aren't saying that this upgrade is the end all to making an EVO power-slide out of the turns like a Tokyo drift car but it has proven itself time and time again to be a worthwhile no BS upgrade on the stock suspension or the fancy 4-way adjustable stuff.

How well does it hold up for road racing? How long the differential holds up will mainly depend on your suspension set-up, driving style and track conditions. People who are competively racing in SCCA T2 are getting two seasons worth of use before inspection is required while the daily drivers are reporting that the rear differential is still working strong. Based on my findings, I would expect it to last many years in a daily driver before any service is required.

Turn around time is quick, about 2-3 days.

This service includes:

* all new friction plates
* modified side sheaves
* magnaflux inspection of ring & pinion
