my friend was telling me to get it for my car. he says it's like having a lsd but it only costs 300 bucks. doesn't sound too bad so i was wondering what you guys thought about it?

when i get a replacement open diff i will be trying it out...

it will never be as good as a kazza, cusco, ATS unit... but its better than the viscious LSD that comes stock in the cars.

you may have to grind the inside part of the axel gears down to make it fit... and you have to be very careful when installing it, everything must go back the way it came out... and all bolts must be torqued correctly.

make sure you know what your getting into!

I'd much rather have a VLSD than a Random Grip.

Umm... don't get the phantom grip. Its just a device to convert your existing diff to lsd. I haven't hear a good thing about it.

So you wouldn't use it on a Porsche 911 or an old VW Beetle?

I alwasy hear that PG LSD's break alot, and aren't worth it. Just save up and get the Nismo or Kaaz.
