I was looking to add this to my 06 WRX. Instead of a LSD. I understand it's noisy, but not really worried about that. My biggest concern is street driveability. This car is a daily
Most of the 06 WRX's have a viscous limited slip rear differential - our lockers won't work with that case. You would need to swap in a used 5 Bolt style R-160 with matching gear ratio to run our locker. Our lockers are designed for on and off road use, most of our customers install in daily drivers.
Depending on the condition of the vehicle and any corrosion, install on a Subaru should take about 2 to 3 hours. Any 4x4 shop should be able to install the locker.
I’m assuming this may affect your stability control system or antilock brakes or traction control especially if the vehicle is equipped with brake actuated limited slip I could be totally wrong just figured I’d ask the question
No, the locker does not affect any of these systems. There is never a rear slipping wheel, so none of these systems engage regarding the rear driveline.
