Default Re: Difference between Traction Control and Limited Slip Differential??

Okay thanks for the info, that was just what I wanted to know. I was reading
that the Civic Si has alot of good safety features like 4 wheel disc brakes,
ABS, EBD and Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control and Helical
Limited Slip Differential. I also like tha auto locking feature and the
automatic head restraints, alot of great features.
