Spot on.

I have a front (helical torsen) lsd and rear (plated) lsd on my GC8 MY00 - it simply just "punts hard". You you can power in and out of corners, throttle steer stupid and really only have to watching out for swapping ends when you go hard in the wet. No more under steer. ever.

Note however, you've got do these other to front/rear lsds otherwise it won't work properly or safely. As you would also imagine it's well worth upgrading all your other suspension parts too.

Final word - without a doubt these are the best handling mods you can do a bar a DCCD, which even then you'll probably prefer to drive it in a 35/65 set-up.

Cheers
