Do you use the car mostly on the street? If so, having a minispool will make negotiating tight corners a bit more difficult due to the fact that the diff is basically "locked".

I can't really explain it in the best way, but someone else will give you a bit of a better explanation soon I reckon.

I recently bought a KAAZ 2way mechanical LSD...i dunno how i lived without it

Iv also driven cars with minispools, and i think some peoples experiences and complaints about "turn circles" and "parallel parking" is over zealos. I had no issues and wonder what peoples complaints are sometimes.

If you want friendly driveability, get yourself a daily...personally i love a raw feeling car

Sure, you lose some sort of "daily drivability" and your rear tyres get scrubbed out but thats the price we pay when it comes to modifying our cars. Considering you're getting a mini spool in the first place, i gather you'er not one to really care about tyre wear on the rears.

Buy it, youll LOVE it and youll wonder how you did without it

yeah i do care about my tyres coz im only a trainee so money is hard to come by... haha

but shit happens and if they wear out ill but new ones they stockies for the whole sleeper effect so they arnt that expensive...
