Hello,
I'm new here (first post actually) and I've been dong some research on the mini's. Trying to find out as much as I can. I found this site: http://www.phantomgrip.com/applications.html
and I thought some of you modders would be interested. I also know of the Quaife LSD: http://www.quaifeusa.com/differentials/diff_apps.htm
But they seem to be a bit more expensive. Well, off I go to find more trivia.

Chris

that quite a price differential - pun intended!

Quaife has a world class reputation and i would be tempted to go with them as one tends to get what one pays for.

the real issue is the amount of effort required to actually install the LSD. Unlike a rear wheel drive car this a major job requiring the transmission being taken out and I have seen threads suggesting $1500 to $2000 to do the installation.

LSD is definately, in my mind anyway, a key part of getting the power down but if you have DSC i wonder how the interaction works.
