more steering in to a corner, more rotation, more pull out of a corner, becomes abit snatchy and direct.

the team have tried this a few times but most keep returning back to the centre one way, or even full 4wd on occasion!

if you have one then yes, you should take everything to a national as you never know what will be needed - expect nothing! a one way diff is a big set up change and may be needed, you'l kick your self if you need it and forgot it at home!

only thing left to do is fit it and see how it feels yourself, some people love them, some people hate them, its very specific to preference.

Suppose its worth taking anywhere really, to try and see if it suits your style.
I found the centre one-way to work particularly well at Oz, so stuck with it.

Its worth trying, to see if it would be any quicker for your style.

I have heard of people running both a front and centre one way at the some time. Is there any point to this or are they just too lazy to remove the centre one way when they fitted the front?

I would have thought it would be the same as running just a front one way...


I haven't tried the front one way yet but I use a centre one, I really like the ability to lock it solid with a pin. Saves having to dismantle the car in order to try it with full 4WD.

Using both is like using just the front one way - yes. Some people (Mark Pavidis) reckon you get a little (tiny) more steering with running both - but I think that's bollocks
You don't have to remove the centre one way on the D4 since it has a pin you can insert to lock it quickly - very neat!!
