Through the smooth and constant distribution of power to the wheels, the MFactory Metal Plate LSD puts the power-to-the-ground and maximizes your vehicle's traction where conventional Torsen LSD's succumb to their limits. The Metal Plate LSD is by far the best performing Limited Slip Differential available for a dedicated Circuit, Rally or Drift car.

Diamond Cut to exacting tolerances from Forged High-Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum Steel
Perfect fitment & finish ensures hassle-free installation & maintenance, each and every time

Designed using leading-edge Solidworks 3D CAD & Cosmos FEA software
Advanced Gear Geometry minimizes parasitic drivetrain losses. Race transmissions built with MFactory components transfer, on average, 1-2% more power to the ground over our competitors!

Stress Tested on loaded dynos
Ensures our differentials are strong enough to handle the shock loads encountered during racing, yet also durable enough to handle the variable loads encountered during day-to-day driving

Fully Adjustable at-the-track
Users can fully adjust the LSD settings, be it initial pre-load, engagement angles or lock percentage at-the-track without any special tools necessary (disassembly of transmission required)

Coil Spring Pre-Load System (Application Dependant)
Through the integration of a coil spring pre-load system, gone are the days of on/off jerkiness, ensuring smooth power transition and maximum throttle response

2nd Generation Design (Application Dependant)
Through the accumulation of over 8 years of ongoing research and statistical analysis, we are proud to introduce our new v2 Metal Plate LSD applications for BMW (20-Plate) and Honda (16-Plate). A commonly known issue with Plate type LSD's is the associated NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) during low speed manoeuvres, especially noticeable on a daily driver. With the new MFactory v2 Metal Plate LSD, which uses our new 2nd Generation Active Friction™ Type-SS Plates (originally developed for our competition Touring Cars), NVH is reduced by as much as 50%

Low-Cost Maintenance Parts
Unlike with our Helical LSD, the Metal Plate LSD will require regular maintenance to keep performance at its peak. Replacement pre-load springs & plates are always in stock and offered at an affordable price

Covered by the MFactory Lifetime, Globally Transferable Warranty
Whether used on the Street, Strip or Track, all MFactory Metal Plate LSD's come with a Lifetime, No-Hassle, Globally Transferable Warranty

Fitment Notes

Honda B16A2 Fitments: Will not directly fit models previously equipped with an OEM Viscous LSD, and will require a Ring Gear change

BMW 135i MT/335i 07+ MT/DCT/335d Fitments: Will not directly fit these models due to the oem Ring Gear being welded onto the differential. The Ring Gear will either need to be machined to accept the new LSD, or a new bolted Ring & Pinion used. MFactory Competition Products is one of only 3 companies in the US that can provide this service that meets oem tolerances, and the only US company to manufacture precision aftermarket performance Ring & Pinions (Final Drive Gears) for the BMW

Okay
I like that it fits my umbrella well, hinges open for easy application and removal, and that it has enough light for us to see our food at night. I do not like that half of the outer lights do not work part of the time until I take out the batteries and swap them around. Fine enough for the price, not worth the hassle of returning.

Easy to use.
Works well. Light is bright. Our new patio umbrella does not have e a center pole, so the lights get somewhat blocked. But still pretty useful.

My favorite pimple patches
Style: Bundle, Size: 2 Piece Set
I've tried the competitor Mighty Patches and a couple other pimple patches. These are my favorite because they stay on the best and do the best job of healing/absorbing. The Microcrystal Spot Cover actually hurts a little when you put it on from the little spikes... but I love that because I feel like it's actually doing something! I wish they were a little more affordable.

Expensive but effective
Style: Bundle, Size: 2 Piece Set
This isn’t a miracle cure for acne, but it has proven beneficial for reducing redness and shortening healing time, in part because of how it works and also just as a barrier to prevent picking. Product does what the packaging says it will do. These dots are impressively thin. As the fluid is drawn into the patch, it creates a more pronounced white bump, but it is still thinner than typical extra thin hydrocolloid dressings. If you’re planning to walk around and be seen while wearing acne patches, these are a great option, even if they are expensive. If you’re going to be primarily wearing patches while you sleep and are at a place in your life where you just don’t care how it looks as long as it works, shop around and cut a patch to size from a large (4”x4” or so) hydrocolloid dressing, and it will do the job just as well.
