What's the difference between the different LSDs (To narrow it down some, what do the 1.5 way etc. things mean?!)

There is more then enough discussion on this forum that you can find.

The difference between the 1.0 way, 1.5 way, and the 2.0 way is how they apply and react to torque on acceleration and deacceleration.

1.0 Way - This diff has the LSD effect when it is engaged by forward acceleration, it directs torque to both drive wheels when you accelerate.

1.5 Way - This diff has the full LSD effect when you accelerate like the 1.0 Way but it has a limited LSD effect when you deaccelerate.

2.0 Way - Some people say it's not very streetable but it has the full LSD effect on both accel and deaccel.
