quiafe is good because it's gear driven like honda lsd and not like kaaz lsd which use clutch plates in them. kaaz also is pretty noisy, ask a few members here about them. cusco I believe uses clutch plates too.

Re: (torr)
The Cusco and Kaaz are a clutch type while the Quaife is an ATB diff. The cusco is bad *** in RWD cars, but I'm not a big fan of them in fwd vehicles. They act more like a locking differential. My buddy has a shattered Kaaz differential in his garage so he ended up getting a quaife. That's one of the reasons why I have always had Quaife ATB diff's in my cars, nothing better than the lifetime warranty.

I've driven in cars with the Quaife, Kaaz, Spoon, Phantom Grip, and stock Honda OEM LSD transmissions. My impressions......
Quaife - Felt the "best" where it had that bullet-proof feeling, no matter how hard you were to the car. Dumping the clutch on drag races felt pretty good and it didn't feel like it would break anytime soon. I drove with it on the road but not on a road course so I couldn't see how it truely felt but from the road impressions, it felt very good.
Kaaz - Didn't want to dump it since I know of 2 people who "blew up" their diff in the water box at the tracks with the Kaaz, but I did drive it on the road course. Felt great on turns and you can give it gas through the turns.... just had to hold onto the steering wheel with a lot of force to keep the car going in the direction that you wanted to go, but man did it feel good on the road course.
Spoon - felt the same as Kaaz, but it's loud when parallel parking and you get funny looks from people walking by.... lots of "clunking" sounds, but like my friend said, "when you don't hear the clunking noises, the you know something is wrong
"
Phantom LSD - Felt like a stock Honda OEM LSD where it was noticable when shifting into 2nd gear quickly, and around some turns. Dumped it a couple of times and had lots of wheel hop, but that's better than one wheel only spinning. Haven't taken it on the road course but on the street, it feels pretty good...... nothing spectacular but actually a slight noticable difference when driving in the rain on a freeway turn.
OEM Honda LSD - same impressions as the Phantom LSD.
These are my own personal experiences with the LSD setups on different transmissions and different cars. If I had the cash, I'd get a Quaife but if you're on the budget and want LSD, stock Honda OEM or even the Phantom Grip work out pretty good for what they're worth. Never had any experience with Cusco so can't say anything about it.
