      good but watch out for all your fears while on it. especially spiders and snakes. the furniture tends to melt into the floor too. If you can remember that all will end well go for the ride. If you think everything you see is real stay away

          oooohhhh kay... and to actually HELP this kid out... ;) ;) ;)

          a limited slip differential basically directs power to both wheels, so there is a limited amount of slip within the differential (usually given a % value)... when one wheel starts to spin, it directs power to both, so both wheels are driving the car

          most commonly, when in an open diff car, when you gas it around a corner, the weight is lifted from the inside wheel, making that tire spin, putting less power to the ground... but w/ LSD, some power is directed to the outter wheel, which is gripping the road better

          if you have enough power, both rear wheels will start spinning.... and that's called "fun" 8)

          i'm sure someone can explain this better, since i'm freakin tired as hell :?

            That should explain how they work pretty well I think.

                      well, that explains it about as good as I could.
                      Our LSD is considered a clutch pack viscous Limited Slip differential. It basically relies on fluid and clutch contacts to redirect power
                      the BEST differential in my opinion is a Multiplate diff like a Kaaz diff. it relies solely on lateral g-forces and clutch pack intermeshing. The redirection of power is instant.
                      Quaife ATBs have a little lag when redirecting power and it isnt particularly smooth. I would recommend Quaifes on a FWD car, but not for a RWD one.
