My best friend has it in his 98' max and it still doesn't leave two nice 2 lines(some times it'll leave 2) when you drop the clutch. And some times the PG locks up the right wheel (when you try to stop) after you do a burn out. From my understanding it works by a spring but for the people with SC of turbo should do the spring upgrade if there thinking about it.

I thinking about it also, but I will have to wait until the SC is in to see how the car runs.

would you doubt the quicker accel times of an AWD eclipse vs. its FWD counterpart?
Obviously not. That is why many AWD cars have better 60 ft times but slower 1/4 mile times in comparison to some FWD/RWD cars.

The only reason why I was doubting it was because I've only driven a Maxima with a VLSD. Everything is relative and I'm sure once I get new rubber I'll be happier.

its easier for a higher powered car to play 'catch up', but its not catching up because its 2wd. i understand the powertrain loss is greater in the AWD, but show me any moderately powered AWD car with a 2WD counterpart where the AWD has a quicker 60ft but slower ¼ mi. eta. i have yet to see it.

In Honda camps it's known as the Phantom Slip. Not recommended.
