Hello again Steve. Yes I would want an LSD. I don't know if you use Quaife or ZF. I would prefer a Quaife. Do you suggest otherwise?
Uhhh, yessir by far. IMHO Quaife LSD's are fine for FWD and street cars, but for any track work and in any high-power situation, the clutch-pack type LSD's are far superior. They lock up better and under trailing throttle, they keep the rear wheels connected to stabilize braking and corner entry. The handling differences are quite dramatic. I only use Quaife-types in FWD cars that cannot tolerate ANY additional understeer and in cars that are autocrossed.

Sigh... This is the part I'm confused.... Will the clutch-pack type work well in a street car? Is the factory ZF LSD considered good enough for street? I sure don't think VW intended folks to track in Bugs!
And the Quaife is good for autocross? Isn't that sort of similar to track? Pardon my ignorance. I take my Bug to the track and also want to join auto-x events.... What's good? Quaife or ZF?
