"they can get it for 320 plus 150 for install"

I do them bench job (you pull it and bring it to me) for 80...

installing a PG takes about 30 minutes and is about the same difficulty of say putting a new intake on your car...

look at their install instructions for a better idea of how simple they are. To put it roughly: you could probably make a wooden modle of a phantom grip plate in about 5 minutes with a drill bit and a dremmel tool.

They are 'worth the money' since the closest alternative to a 'lsd' unit is a 600+ dollar whole LSD differential. but considering how simple they are, your getting ripped bigtime since it probably takes them 15 minutes to make every unit with a drill press.

ohh... and given that you just simply install them in the stock diff, basicly you just pull the tranny case off, pop up the pinion shaft, slip the dif out and stick the plates in. reasemble and tida... its not a whole differential swap like most people would think.
 
yeah, the BM unit is nice... both PG and BM use the same material for the plates... just BM could afford to price battle PG since they dont specialize in only thoes units. basicly you can get any strength springs and put them in there from either company tho. im pretty sure they get the springs from the same place anyway.
