Daily driver? Don't do it.

Drag car? Go for it.

pos - both wheels rotate no matter what. lol

neg - if you break and axle hold on because your going to hit something like the wall.

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

t_cel_t · « **Reply #16 on:** May 04, 2009, 06:21:52 AM »

it just sounds like scraping, occasionally it starts to squeel like when you turn in a parking garage

tire wear is the least of your worries if you DD a welded diff

parking=impossible

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.
