the steeper the ramps, the quicker and smoother it reacts!
the more shallow the ramps are, the more lockup is generated. the aim should always be to put in as many clutchpacks as possible and have the ramps as steep as possible.

"variable ramps" are no option in professional lsd building as in a properly configured lsd, the axles will travel no more than 1-2mm at highest! machining a curve that makes sense and can be driven properly without the lsd doing unpredictable things is not possible. don't buy units with "variable" ramps!

drexler doesn't do that either if you look at there pressure plates in detail. the part where the axles travel up and down is a stright line... the curves are done on the upper part of the "V" where the axle will never move to (maybe because it looks better or the plate gets more stable or it simply is easier to machine like that?!)

if diffsonline really means that when talking about "variable ramps" i'd like to see a closeup of their ramps! if they mean you can choose what ramp they should use it would make more sense but then they need to manufacture and harden each set individually what also makes no sense. if they mean it is no 2-way but 1.5 or 1 way they use the wrong words!
so i would really be interested what they want us to say with "variable ramps"?!
