Is the limited slip for the 4cyl worth getting? Has anyone purchased this product?

Re: Limited Slip?
Have had a few REAL limited slip diffs apart before & I can tell you one thing, this is NOT a LSD. Dont waste your money, dont destroy your tranny!
Falls in there with the electric turbo & crap like that. All it appears to do is cause a mild rubbing between the two shaft gears to transfer some force to each side to prevent single wheel spin. Nice theory, but a real LSD uses a clutch & spring assembly & must have a specific lubricant similar to auto tranny fluid. This piece O poo may work for a couple runs but day to day driving & taking a few curves will wear it down & then you just have an extra piece of metal in there, not to mention all the metal chips that will end up in your tranny.

Re: Limited Slip?
actually while phantom grips are NOT real LSD's...it is a decent inexpensive alternative.
you just have to upgrade the springs because the ones that it comes with suck ***
