Limited Slip Differential

Anyone...experience of those aftermarket LSD's

Doesn't it mess up the ETS or any other system that is end of computer..

For example, KLEEMANN’s Limited Slip Differential....?

I don't know about the kleemann but from what I understand it is not a real LSD. I have the Quaife unit and it makes a big difference with traction from start as well as on corner exit. I have had no issues as far as lights or ETS.

I just had the Quaife LSD installed last Friday. no computer issues at all. the esp button still works to put the nannies under a little bit of control. the unit works amazingly. I actually have traction now.

I may have got the numbers wrong but I think the unit was about 1200 pounds then install on top but I don't remember what the install was.
