28 spline. Honestly mate, you should've used the search button. This type of thread always ends up full of do goooders going nuts about how illegal and unsafe the damned things are. Personally I wouldn't want one in the wet, and any competent mechanic SHOULD knock you back for roadworthy with it.

Personally you can't drive then. An LSD in the wet is the same as a spool, unless its in its open wheeler stages.

How the hell is an LSD in the wet the same as a spool?

Both are powering both wheels. Being that there is less grip, the LSD will spin both wheels.

Either way, anyone who's actually driven a car with a spool knows how crap those types of comments are. If a spooled car lost it in the wet, its because the driver couldn't drive.
