I haven't driven without an LSD, but I'm told that the factory diff allows for 30% lock, but an aftermarket one, like Quaife, allows for 100% lock. The cost might be comparable, but it takes a decent amount of time to install the aftermarket diff.

I actually haven't had the opportunity to turn it completely off. I need to find an empty space.

LSD is 100x better, beyond me why it isnt standard.

After having LSD and driving one without and its the worst.

If you haven't drove with LSD you wouldn't know what your missing.

You must be driving aggressively or in slippery conditions for it to come into play though.

Well we just got rain so I'll venture out at some point. I just know that even if it's not dangerous I'd be beating my head agains the wall if anything happened to my car.
