    stick with a lsd over a locker any day for driveabitly and handling in the wet , less likely to break axles with a lsd too.

    Go. To a diff place and ask to see the detroit tru trak locker.. I think thats wat it is lol
    Its pretty much the same as an lsd from what i understand but alot stronger and pretty much garenteed to last

    lsd for sure, it gives you better handling through corners, less strain on axles and tyres and you dont get that wankie "iv got a locker" noise when you turn at low speeds

    If your building a budget burnout or drift car then go locker.

    depending on how you drive the lsd will pop singles after a few months of abusive driving. go the locker, so predictable once you get the hang of it.

    locker if you want to do proper doubles and you couldnt give a f*** about the law. detroit locker is a good option, but very expensive, you can also get a kaaz locker, they dont lock at low speeds, so no chirping in woolies, but lock when you give it a bootful. oh and with a normal locker, expect to replace your rear tires once a month lol, also wears the fronts out quicker im pretty sure

    My old man had a detroit locker in his broncos rear diff. Tough as diff.
    Mini spools are illegal for the street, just dont turn in front of coppers lol.
    When in doubt, use FORCE
