Lately, my limited slip diff has been not working positively. My diff has been suffering from poor lock up, which has made drifting consistently difficult. To fix this, we will be adding more preload on the clutch packs in the form of thicker first clutch plates.

These are thicker clutch plates from Kaaz that will be adding more preload to the LSD. The thicker plates will greatly increase the initial breakaway torque by increasing preload on the cone washers that apply clamping forces on the clutch plates.
