There have been countless threads on the OBX for and against it however there is a thread on here i believe that will take you though what you need to do with the obx to get it upto par!

Personally i like the obx i run it my self and have boosted friends who run the obx with out any problems you just gotta take them apart and inspect/clean but if you search there are some good threads about that!


as for the phantom grip i wouldn't use it i have never read or heard anything good about that one!

phantom grip uses your stock diff, its just a locking plate. Go with the OBX LSD but follow the guide on here as stated above, and make sure you shim it correctly, thats the reason for most of the bad comments - improper install.
