2G extreme psi LSD insert horror stories?

[AZmocoLoco]

one thread seemed to have led most people who perform reseach on an lsd insert to not go in this direction. so the thing is that when i purchased my car, the previous owner said that the trans was an LSD trans from factory. its a 2g fwd, and i havent heard of many fwd's coming with an lsd option from factory.

so the question is, does anyone have any horror stories of the LSD inserts from extreme psi? this is going to be a daily driver, so i dont need my wheels to stick to the ground for every single launch and time i hit above 5k rpm..

i want to know if anyone, within lets say... the last 3 years. any bads about them?

how about goods? there has to be someone who uses this and doesnt have problems... ya?

You're correct, no FWD's ever came from the factory with an LSD diff.

This tells me you should not opt for this type of "LSD" setup. This is not the solution for a street-driven car. This would be a solution for a car that is either for strickly straight line performance (drag) or loose surface conditions (RallyCross). An insert does, however, offer some slip for turning unlike a welded differential. Aside from the drawbacks from a performance standpoint, the LSD insert will also put additional stress upon the stock unit resulting in failure. If you indeed want to LSD, opt for a proper replacement unit.

I will leave you with this:

Some great information regarding the design, variety, and uses for differentials:
