Yeah if you are not going to be lifting wheels off the ground in turn 4, the Giken is overkill. If you just want a LSD to have and LSD, then I am sure there is a lower price point. Quaife is known for making no BS stuff, I would buy from them in a heartbeat.

What is interesting is the way a LSD actually works. Did you know the whole thing is designed around what is essentially a big solid oil booger? It was explained to me by the same guy that was telling me why he uses the Giken. The whole "clutch" mechanism is like this big ball of oil-snot-jello thing.

In addition, if you burn the booger snot jello clutch out, the whole thing is f-ed. When you change the LSD oil, it doesn't really affect the booger snot ball, if that thing gets too hot, it's done.

Umm, you're talking about the stock VLSD that comes with the sport model and not other mechanical LSDs right?

Since we are on the subject, does the OS Giken require any modifications or additional parts for a 6mt open/diff?

The OSG diff was actually made for open diff cars. I THINK that means you don't have to buy the extra stub shaft assembly but I'm really not sure since my car had the VLSD. I'd really like to find out so I can add it onto my review for everyone's record.

Thanks bro, i did ask that same question to Mike at GTM over email a few months back and he told me that it did not need the stub shaft assembly just like you mention but it would be nice for someone to do a review of it to have more info or probably i'm gonna have to get myself one and do a review!
