The Definitive Differential Thread

The Cusco 1.5 way is definitely loud and clunky. Definitely would not recommend it for a street driven car. For a track toy/competition car it is great option though.

Interesting, but some others claim it not to be too loud.

The Quaife is fine,,,unless you're going off road or turning at bad angles (up & down)...you got to really get it in an awkward position to "teeter" up one rear wheel.
I need to jack up one side of mine to confirm it...but there was only one instance when i drove off a steep angle from concrete to grass that it appeared to not be pulling w/both rear wheels.
Other than that-i have perfectly even rear tire wear.

I was going to get the Cusco 1.5. Daelen at MA Motorsports talked me out of it, and into the OS Giken. Said the OS Giken is quieter then the Cusco and a little better on the street. That plus he gave me a great price on the OS Giken.

Pretty much exactly what I've heard. At this point though I'm not changing the LSD out again. Given the car rarely sees street duty these days and primarily sees autox events its streetability isn't high on my list of concerns.
