As I understand it (limited) the 1 way only works in foward rotation, it acts as an open diff in reverse. The 2 way acts the same in either direction. This would leave me to beleive that the 1.5 would offer less aggresive LSD functions in reverse. Unless you are planning on doing top speed flat spins the 1.5 should be fine.

A 1-Way L.S.D. means that only when the accelerator is stepped on, the L.S.D. comes into use.

The 1.5-Way L.S.D. means that when the car is braking, there is little L.S.D. effect

2-Way L.S.D. means that either when the car is accelerating or braking the L.S.D. is always active.
