I don't really want to type out an essay, so I'll just bullet point everything:
1) Quaife don't have any patents on the Helical LSD. They "did" have a patent in Europe, but it was worthless, and has long since expired. The patent they had was purely for marketing purposes to scare away other manufacturers, but seriously, how many of you have actually looked up the patent? I'm willing to bet 99% of you haven't, and just believed that Quaife had this patent for their almighty ATB when in fact, the patent wasn't worth the paper it was written on. Quaife did not invent the Helical LSD; they simply done what we done and based their LSD off the original Gleason/Torsen design. If anyone deserves credit for the Helical LSD, it is Gleason as they were the ones who invented it.
2) We work very closely with Mike @ MotoIQ, on various items, and he would more than likely be very happy to review our SR20 items as he had done with our Honda items in the past. Infact, I remember a couple of years ago speaking with him at SEMA where he was applauding us for making final drives for this market
3) The prototypes (32A and 32V) are scheduled to be finished next week. We just need to confirm who will be testing these units for fitment, and is technically the only thing left that would cause any "delay" of sorts
4) Our LSD's are stronger and lighter than any other Helical LSD on the market. This is due to them being forged, not just simply CNC machined from a block of metal (what most people call Billet). This is also the reason why our LSD's are more affordable, as a Forged part does not produce waste material, unlike "Billet" which is very cost inefficient (unless you are just producing very small quantities). Yes, there is a stigma associated with parts made in China, but where a part is made does not dictate the quality of a product; what dictates the quality is "who" is making the part. There are plenty of Made in "Insert Western Country" parts that are simply garbage. Infact, you would NOT be able to make a product to the exact same specification as our LSD in North America/Europe/Australia without it costing you over $1500 with a much higher minimum order quantity. Why? Because the tooling and equipment required to make our parts are either "unavailable" to 90% of average-sized business', or are so industry-specific that the factories won't even give you the light of day if you asked
5) Our in-house multi-million dollar factory is located in Taiwan, not Mainland China
