Why not have a search about this haas been discussed many times before - yes really

The short version is - are you a good enough driver to use a LSD?

I have a 3.62 LSD on my R1 engined Vortx. It has given me no problems when driving. Whether it is better or worse than an open diff I couldn't say, but I never spin the inside wheel up in tight corners, it just grips and goes, which is good.

No offence but you've asked this before and I should imagine you must have formed a good opinion already. It's not a huge decision as sticky tyres go a long way to stopping wheelspin but if you are in any doubt whatsoever and think you may want an LSD then just go both on shafts and it will be an easy swap back and forth.

If you mean a narrow track as in not very wide. you want it to handle therefore tyres R888's corner weighting and bump steer, as I've said before set the car up as standard ENJOY. it then if need be start playing round with quick racks etc.

Please accept my appologies for asking the same thing again.
But I can not make my mind what is best for my car and my driving style.
I appologize again!
