Not that I have anything to compare it to, but my Quaife does its job well. Way uses it in his race cars.

Nope, in Savannah, Georgia. Sorry. If you want work done on your MINI by an expert, come on down to Atlanta and see Way at WMW. If nothing else, call him. He might know someone.

for a street car the Quaife LSD is ideal, it works great and will get the power to the ground. They are also bullet proof with their lifetime warranty. And the price on them is better than the Giken. Not that the Giken is bad, just on a street car the Quaife is better.
