Well, in a nutshell it's all junk. The LSD has been holding up, but you MUST rebuild it the moment you receive it. If you do a disassembly, cleaning, and verify all the bellville washers are there and arranged properly, and verify the new machining of the axle input sleeves are done then it'll probably hold up. There is also some bolt fitment issues when putting the ring gear on sometimes.

The other parts they sell though are definitely not something you should buy. If you really intend to build a car that performs, then you just can't buy cheap junk. Trying to build a real deal car, yet buying OBX parts for it would be like Tiger Woods shopping for golf equipment at Wal-Mart. It may work for a little bit, but don't be surprised when you step up to the tee and your clubhead flies farther than the ball.

That just about sums up my feelings for OBX, although many people rave about the LSD, how it holds up. I've also seen the same posts about having to rebuild the LSD right off the bat.

i have the lsd. it is the newer one, and was retorqued with new washers. i havent put many miles on it, but the previous owners both ran 10s or better with it, so its still good in my book
