Just installed one in our project. I'll let you guys know the results when we fire it up.

Phantom Grip aka Phantom Ghost aka Phantom Slip That ---- may cause both tires to turn a bit initially, but a try a real launch on it and its ----. It will SLIP like a one pegged -----.

OBX is my choice at the moment for LSD for price. But like what some of the other guys said, make sure you double check all bolts and make sure they are up to torque. G'Luck.

I like my OBX LSD. Been using it since May with absolutely no complaints.

there is always some preload on clutch type LSD's, so they may scrub a little.

Gear type and Viscious shouldn't scrub.

Welded does scrub, but I love the way it reacts, to me it's way more predictable and controlable than even quality clutch type LSD's.

highroller:why would an lsd cause your front tires to scrub, it should pretty much release in turns shouldnt it?
ya its a clutch style and I ---- you not you cant even turn the one tire if the other ones on the ground. the tires were about 5 to 1 compared the rear or more if you dont spin them.

I have it on my Teg. I heard bad stuff about Phantom Grip as well. But I dont care. I got that ---- almost free. If it gives... then off to another tranny. I just want an ITR tranny next time.....
