a spool does put alot of strain on the "inner" axle when turning corners and are prone to breakage. Do yourself a favour and go an LSD, plus, spools aren't legal on the street.

no problem, I've always had LSD's, from my first Tori to my current VL V8, you won't regret getting one, just forget the spool for the streets!

My spools(in my cars) are fine on the street, both my cars have them!

but why would you want one on the street, they're not designed to go around corners? A nice tight LSD is more than adequate for the job!
