if you want a half hearted LSD get a Quaife

if you want an actual LSD that works get a plate style (Gripper or WaveTrac)

Quaifes have a **** torque bias (about 2.1:1)

WaveTrac and Gripper have about 4.5:1 which can be made greater with its setup arrangement

I read up about the ATB Quaife and to me it sounded exactly like what the car already has (DSTC)?

I'm looking at a Gripper plate at the moment. As I will be replacing the clutch it makes a lot of sense to fit one at the same time. They are expensive but it should cut down on the labour time.
