Which LSD and are they worth the money?

pretty sure most go for the Quaffe (i think it's spelt that way)!

Quaife (is the spelling) is what most people go for, unless you are made of money - then get the Gripper diff.
Quaife is fit and forget, so it has that advantage, but doesn't perform quite as well as the Gripper.
For a track car, I don't think it's worth it. As a Burpspeed team member (oh yeh!) I've seen the time difference in races when they didn't have one on the car last year, to this year, where they have a Quaife fitted. Both Tony and Jay say it's great, and they definitely feel the difference coming out of the corners, but they are racing, so every second counts.
On a track car, there are much better ways of spending your money, namely more track days

2.2 bar shed.
A Gripper is a hero choice. Only reason I didnt go for one in my Rover was the fact I'd not be able to do a full european tour on one as the rebuild schedules are pretty tight. Depends upon milage/money set aside for upkeep. Best thing about the Gripper is if you snap a shaft you can still drive as its a true LSD, unlike the Quaife where you'll be going home on the back of a trailer.

You can get the power down better coming out of corners, instead of spinning up the inside wheel, which Clios would do as standard.
Probably a bit more to it than that lol
