Best Car Battery Replacement & Installation in Carson, CA

No, we do not sell Carbonetic. However, many same or similar products sold by Carbonetic are available from ATS except for the Pro Blade Clutch and Brake pad. When ACROSS went out of business, ATS purchased the specs of their blade clutch, so blade clutches (not pro-blade) are also available under the brand name of ATS.

Yes. Even though Cabonetic copied some of our parts and made them overseas, the dimension should be exactly same. So you can use ATS repair parts for your Carbonetic clutches and LSDs. However, Carbonetic Pro Blade is excluded.

When a customer asks us this question, it usually means if our LSD is quiet and smooth. The answer is Yes. ATS carbon LSD (both old model, Spec II, and type street) does not have any chattering noise and the engagement is ultra smooth. In 2009, ATS released super silent LSD which is a metal LSD but does not have chattering or cranking noise. [It does chatter mildly during the break in period. However, after a 25min to 30min 8 figure break in, or after driving about 500miles, the chatter will disappear].

If an LSD has too much initial torque (break away torque), the vehicle becomes extremely difficult to turn. Please check the initial torque to see if it is within the factory spec. All ATS LSDs are checked for the initial torque when they are shipped out from the ATS factory. The initial torque should be less than 15 kg -m (108 lb-ft) - Metal LSD only. However, if you purchase an LSD which is overhauled or assembled by a different company or shop, the initial torque might not be checked and the LSD could have a higher initial torque than the factory spec. Carbon LSD should not cause a bad push under steer even it is a 2 way.

The standard carbon clutches use the floting disc and pressure plate which are made of metal. The floating disc(s) and the pressure plate of the full carbon cluch are made of carbon. The metal pressue plate and the floating disc(s) tend to warp when the clutch is slipped several seconds due to the heat produced by the carbon discs. If your driving style does not utilze the slipping clutch, the standard carbon clutch works very well long time. However, if you have to deploy slipping the clutch frequetnly (mostly for drag racing launch and drifting competition), the full carbon clutch eliminates your possible troubles caused from warping discs.
