well for one dudett.. dont cut fully sick hoops or do burnouts and yeh shell be fine.. its really only when you start doing these things your axles start to go.. Spoolsgive a more direct feel then a LSD i recon as LSD's may sometimes only spin one and yeh the otehr one will bite and yeh depends on many things.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I think i'll get the Mini-Spool man. I heard VL's shake hard at low speed. My gem never used to shake.

well i absolutely abused the **** out of mine and it held up for 6 months almost before i sold it. i hated doing u-turns so much that whenever i had to do one i would give it 5k drop the clutch swing it around and baby it off. next owner had it for few weeks and he said "i was backing into a car-park and i heard it snap". i dunno about driving it a particular way if it snaps it snap i say. oh and i had 17x8 with sticky rubber.
