2G Improving FWD Traction, Quaife Way to Go?

[Ferp]

I've done a good bit to improve my FWD traction such as putting on some adjustable coilovers and removing some weight in the back. I've inquired into LSD's for the 2nd gen GS-T but I can't find any solid reviews for the Quaife LSD which is what I'm interested in. I wanted to know if I'll see a large improvement on launches and less wheel spin through first and second gear. I also wanted to know if it makes much difference in winter driving. Thanks, I searched around but couldn't find a thread with first hand experience that answered all my questions.

The lsd will definitely help in the snow.

For fwd It will only help slightly for drag launches. More suitable for auto cross or street .

Heck YA it's the way to go!!! along with solid prothane motor mounts. And a good strut setup,and to top it off full prothane bushing kit. Then the most important part driver mod!! Learn to slip the clutch and hit your gears I wouldn't do anything with a gst without getting a lsd!

Thanks a lot for the replies. Sounds like it's worth the investment.

When you install the Quaife, it will be like driving a different car. How you take corners will change a bit. As far as traction goes, it would be hard to find a negative aspect of having the LSD versus the open diff.
