R56 limited slip differential: i think it actually works.
limited slip differential: i think it actually works.
the past couple of days have been rainy which has magnified low traction conditions on my daily commute.
every day, i have a very tight 270degree on ramp where the merging zone is about 10 feet before you need to be at the speed of traffic which is ~50-60mph.
the car pushes a little bit karting around the 270 degree onramp, but you can definitely feel the inner wheel bite and the car turns in nicely if one stays on the gas. no DSC light.
i really think the LSD works quite well, in summary.

it's more accurate to say that i definitely noticed it as a bonus when it was snowing heavily this past winter --but on slick roads, it really does reduce understeer and helps the steering/front wheels to bite into a curve (noticeably).
Inner wheel bite? You must not be driving hard enough
Im guessing you mean that you feel the diff stopping all the torque from going to a spinning inside wheel and the outside bites down with the torque. But, yeah its nice, wish I had it.
