id say ABS isnt good for drifting..ABS stops u from locking up the tires right? In drifting its helpful (if not needed) to lock the rear wheels. So i guess ABS and drifting do not go well together

Not necessarily... I know a couple people who drift with ABS-equipped cars. ABS only kicks in under heave braking with the pedal - not the side brake (E-brake). Sidebrake drifting, shift lock, feint, power-over, etc. can all be done while having ABS. The point of initiating a drift is to break just the rear wheels loose while keeping the necessary traction up front to steer and control the now-sideways car through the corners, not to break traction on all four - which then would be pretty impossible with ABS on a relatively clean street or driving surface.

I'd think that HICAS affects drifting more than ABS does... because again from my understanding, ABS activates when you stomp on the brake pedal and hold it. If you do that while drifting either you're going way too fast for the turn, or you want to stop in the middle of the road

Thanks for the info!
Sounds good, but how much is it? Carbon plates sound expensive. ATS also had some carbon plate diffs, but I don't need that for street driving. The Kaaz is rebuildable, and they have offices in the US, so you don't need to send it out of country. I bet it the Cusco is good, but I kinda like having support (more) locally.

juztinvez,
I thought the same thing before I got into it. There was no "shims" involved. And I didn't need to check any tolerances either. Pretty much just take out the old, and install the new in place. Only thing I couldn't do was check the torque of all the bolts on the final gear because we didn't have a way to hold down diff from moving (didn't want to damage it in the vice) , so we just gunned it on there good and tight.
If you have tools and some time, I say save yourself a few hundred dollars!
