I'd go with the LSD. Locked diffs arn't legal and a 9inch diff just isn't needed, not to mention you'll lose a fare bit of power through it.

Definately go with an LSD cause you'll want to do some street cruising without headache's, unlike with a mini spool which will eat your tyre's and bend your axles in no time

Just watch those wet weather day's champ, cause if your car skip's (pothole, bump in road) the rear tyre's WILL light up (particularly in a VL Turbo) and if your not ready for that........

Mini spools are great in a straight line :arrow: I prefer lsd for the daily driver. 8)

..there is no need for a mini spool on the street. If you like to lose traction with your rear tyres, get a tight LSD, an engine with some decent horsepower and learn how to drive it, then there is no reason you need a mini spool. You will save money on tyres, broken axles and wont look like a **** when you try to do a U turn or lose it in the wet!

no need to put a 9-inch in a vl turbo unless its heavily modfied...just like putting a 9-incher in a stock gemini.

how bad is the screaching (tyres) on a min spool? Can a car with a mini spool still be made to handle?

Quote: how bad is the screaching (tyres) on a mini spool? they don't screach as such, the tyres hop and chirp when doing a U-turn Quote: Can a car with a mini spool still be made to handle? Ummm, yes. I have a spool. most circuit cars including V8 Supercars run them.
