pos - both wheels rotate no matter what. lol

not worth it on a front wheel drive.

depends on the style lsd.  helical (obx, quaffie to name a few) it will be as if you had a stock diff.  you don't go anywhere.  some of the other types woudl be a different story

This is not for a street car that gets driven to work mod. It is so damn hard to turn the wheel its not even funny. Track car make sure to park  in the back so you have plenty of room to park/pull the car out so your not spending 5 minutes to get the car to the staging lanes.
