Well, I have a source for LSD's for C900's & other saabs & I thought I would pass the info on. This would give us a alternative to the Phantom Grip units!
--
There are two types of diff locks available. One type is fixed-rate
locker, i.e. non-adjustable. This unit has a working principle similar
to TorSen locks, in other words, it locks up under load. The locking itself
is 100%, so this is more like the racing type lock. However, 100%
locking doesn't mean this makes the car difficult to steer or make turns; in fact, many people already use this lock on their street cars. It makes the turn-in a bit heavier, sure, but traction is so much better that overall cornering improves a lot. They are also using this lock type in the c900 track racing series in Finland, and the results have been very good.
Best news is that this lock type is available for 99, c900, 9000, NG900
and 9-5!
The second type of lock is a fully adjustable LSD. Again fully
mechanical in operation, this lock type can be adjusted between 0 and 100 % locking freely. For adjustment, nothing needs to be dimantled. This unit can be set to ideally suit street driven vehicles, rally cars, track racers, drag cars... You name it. This lock type is so far only available for the 99 and c900, because the transverse engine/transmission combination of the other Saabs would make adjusting it very complicated. It is fully possible to make these for other models too, but then they pretty much have to be pre-adjusted.

When the details are worked out I will share the info
