I know that some LSD designs can increase turning radius -- does it in the MINI? I am considering LSD but want the smallest turning radius for maneuvering in narrow streets.

Are there any disadvantages to LSD (other than cost and weight)?

 

The LSD should only kick in if one of your wheels starts to slip/spin. It really shouldnt affect normal driving.

 

Rk with the 30% lock if I remember correct it does not interfere with turning radius. If it was lower around 10-15% you would definately see it in turning R.

 

I was unaware that LSD affected your turning radius. How does the percentage affect it? Can someone elaborate or provide a link to read up on this?

Thanks

 

In normal (non-tire spinning) driving, I never know it's there. It doesn't affect the steering any that I can detect.
