THE REVIEW:
This thing is nice. It comes with everything you need to install and made it real easy. As usual with my car we seem to take things one step too far. The diff is adjustable to 60%, 80% and 100% lock up. I went with 80%. The car is VERY stable when you floor it around a corner and hooks up great. Problem is with the lock up set where it is, in normal driving you go around a corner and it drags the outer tire and the car jumps around a bit. Plus it makes some popping noise's as it locks and releases. With spirited driving it can't be beat!! You have to remember to ALWAY's turn off the traction control or else the light is constantly going on and off when your driving around. Overall I'm very happy with it, but we're going to take the rear cover off and re-adjust it to 60%. The nice thing is we don't have to disassemble the diff to change the setting.

I've installed a few classic pinion style diffs in my day, and it took lots of patience and calibration to get those installed in the 'pumpkin' just right.
How difficult is this LSD to install?

Wow, that's great. Can you post the install instructions? Did you heat the new bearings, tap them on or both?
