Default Aftermarket LSD Information...1.5 or 2 Way

We're going to be getting an LSD for our DSport project car soon and need some advice on the different lsd's on the market. What are you guys running? 2 way or 1.5? What percentage?

Thanks.

If you are going to me making high horsepower and have adjustable suspension, you need to go with the 2 way

Both settings will act the same under acceleration. 2 way only if your going drift only imo. 1.5 way for road courses and works for drift too. Difference between the two is that the LSD is still fully engaged when off the throttle for 2 way, where as its only partially engaged for 1.5 way. From what I've heard under hard braking like on road courses, with the 2 way you'll experience understeer. I have the cusco RS 1.5 way at 60% and it runs great for both road course and drift. I would probably set the lock % up higher if my car wasn't a daily driver. Here's a link, good read
