Hey guys,

I'm looking to purchase an LSD for my car in the near future. I was hoping to get a 1.5 way, simply because I don't have any experience driving a car with an LSD, and this is my daily driver too. However all 1.5 way (and 1 way) LSDs are significantly more expensive than the TRD LSD, which only comes as a 2-way.

My question is, when driving if for some reason I get myself into a stick spot if I put the clutch in will the car settle down much like a 1-way LSD? Thinking about it logically there's no power going to the wheels, so even under engine braking they should unlock. Right?

Thanks,

Kieran.

There's an article in the current (H)PI magazine specifically about LSDs - might be worth picking up and having a read...

ive ben told that an lsd is better for inexperienced drivers because doing a one wheel peel can end up bad as the car suddenly gains traction and flings the car back in line .. thoughts?

Strictly speaking, it is the opposite of what you have been told. Most inexperienced drivers are not familiar with the behaviour of an LSD because 95% of cars don't come with them. Don't think of it as a safety / driver aid of sorts. They can send you into 360 degree spins faster than a single spinner in the wrong hands. If you're not used to recovering from driver induced tail slides then the single spinner is safer for inexperienced drivers.
