LSD - Limited Slip Differential

How much would it cost to put that on my car?
Does it really make a huge difference on the cars handling?

I installed a quaife lsd on my car, it made a huge difference in traction exiting turns. I intalled it back when the car only had 191 horsepower, and the difference was night and day. I cant imagine what it would be like without it now !

If you drive at all aggressive then yes the difference is quite apparent. An OBX runs about 400 IIRC. The Quaife is 1000-1200. Install will be the same as a clutch (900-1500). I'd recommend swapping out your clutch while you're in there.

I was talking just from an aspect of wearable parts. The flywheel is just an unnecessary expense if you just want to keep the parts fresh .
