Default LSD Question and expereinces?

OK guy's I'm looking to purchase a LSD so my crx can get a little traction alot of boost and built motor is causing traction issues. I'm more looking for a little insight on experiences on what have been used. also my transmission is a S1 non LSD would another casing be needed? I want to keep my transmission and its wonderful short gears.

I have been looking at Quafie, Mfactory, Syncrhotech, wavetrac, or phantom grip being last option. Please let me know what you guys have used and power levels.
I'm running 225/50/15 Mickey Thompson's

Thanks guys

Would say the M-Factory unit is the best bang for your buck! Quaife as well as the Wavetrac have an awesome warranty at a slightly higher price tag. They have all proven themselves over the years. The phantom grip...well, I won't get into that one! Do your own research on them and make an educated decision based on your funds. Hope that helps!

If money isnt a problem try Quaife & MFactory....they seem to perform very well & customer service is great..it all depends though some will say wavetrac its all budget & preference...

What is wrong with the phantom grip? Serious question. I have one laying around and was thinking of using it.

mfactory and quafie are the same except for the price and warranty and one mfactory is made in America with no warranty correct? Or is there any difference between the 2? so quafie and wavetrac your just paying for the warranty

The LSD we use in our builds is MFactory and I have never had a problem with one. I would go with carbon synchros for high rev shifting. I will PM some info to you for the different rebuild kits available.
