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.

I'd personally go with the LSD too.

LSD althought your car is a single spinner, mini spool might be easier, lsd expensive

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........

I prefer lsd for the daily driver. 8)

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!

07-04-03, 12:14 GMT+10#17 how bad is the screaching (tyres) on a min spool? Can a car with a mini spool still be made to handle?

they don't screach as such, the tyres hop and chirp when doing a U-turn

Ummm, yes. I have a spool. most circuit cars including V8 Supercars run them.
