I messaged Kaaz USA the other day questioning them on if they do a 9inch LSD centre to which was replied:
Thanks for your inquiry.
I wished we had a Ford 9 inch diff. Like you wrote, there is a big market for it.
I have been trying for years to convince them to produce one. Unfortunately they are
very scared to product one because it might not sell well. Their main concern is that
they are worried our units will not sell due to high pricing compared to the U.S. made
locking devices.
Since our products are made in Japan, the cost of importing to U.S. is extremely high
due to the weak Dollar. If we produced them, it will most likely be priced around $1,300
retail.
Do you think there are buyers out there who might consider a clutch type diff like ours
over the very affordable Detroit Locker or something similar?
If you are very serious, maybe we can work together to get a 9 inch diff made. Kaaz Japan
requires a minimum order of 30 units to produce a new model.
If we can pre-sell about 20 units, I don't mind ordering 30 units to Japan and stock the
remaining 10 units. What do you think of this idea?
So would like some input and would anyone be keen?
Cheers nick.
