Just get an OBX and have someone that knows what they are doing check it out and install it for you. It will do its job fine.

I've installed both the Quaiffe and OBX LSDs in Hondas and Acuras. The Quaiffe is definitely easier to install and looks to be a little better quality. But as far as function, they both seem to work the same, I can't really tell the difference when driving between them. They both work great. The OBX is a little of a pain to install so expect to pay a slight bit more for the OBX install, but you'll still be saving almost $400 by going with the OBX LSD, so that's what I'd recommend.

All I can comment on is my Spoon LSD which is a clutch type. It grabs hard and straight. Yes, it does require a mixture of oil & friction modifier. And is a little finicky in cold weather until the oil gets warmed up, but this particular lsd is known for its aggresssive nature.

I do have a Quaife and an OEM lsd , but have not used either as of yet.

And you guys know that this from.............................................. .........................many people run them on high hp cars with no issues. Most of the time, it's in the launch and the clutch setup.

The quaife has a lifetime warranty and is proven. If you are don't have a lot of time or you have to pay someone to install it, get the quaife. The money you save now, may go out the window next time around. Not to mention, I know a few people with the OBX diff and they still pull the one wheel peel quit often.
