LSD disadvantages?

[Ravine]

Im going to change the diff ratio in my VS V6 auto soon and was thinking about getting a LSD centre put in at the same time. I was wondering if there are any disadvantages in having a LSD. Also what sort of price would i be looking at? Thanks.

only real disadvantage is the cost (anywhere from $250 for a reco centre to $1500 for a beast setup)

small disadvantage is they wear out and need retightening.

depends if you want to have tail-happy fun and good acceleration or not lol. I'm assuming your changing your diff ratio for better acceleration? if you are get an LSD, it will be way more fun

basically an lsd is expensive to install and requires ongoing maintanence

if you wanna be doing burnouts with it get a spool if its solely for better traction and not to be thrashed get an lsd

since your getting your gears done it will only be about 3-400 more so long as you get it done together

i wouldnt be doing too many doughnuts with a limo. also make sure u use an anti chatter additive from holden. my diff was built about 4 years ago and have only changed the oil once, ive never had a problem.
