Limited Slip Differental
Does anyone on this site have one (limited slip diff) in there transmission or any expierence with them? I know Team Green is the ones suggested on Aleromod Upgrades but isn't that also a group buy through j-body.org? I seen that Phantom Grip has one for Pontiac Sunfires it is also the only one by Phantom grip that I could find for the 4T40E http://store.phantomgrip.com/catalog...roducts_id=154 funny it's not listed under Cavaliers is there any other options availible or am I stuck with the 2 listed?

T/G has TWO (2) DIFFERENT Inserts. They are designed to fit into the diff. W/O grinding the Spider gears (other then removing any lip that might be on the face of the lip).
The T/G springs are 920# vs. PG's Race upgrade (I believe was listed as 750# at one time)

that helped a little from what I can tell there is a difference mostly in spring stregnth but what people say is they are basically the same and you'll get the same results.

What sort of improvement in performance would you see with this?

Basically it acts as a coupling between the left and right wheels to normalize the speed between them. Say if you were making a turn and you punched it, the inside tire would just go up in smoke. With a limited slip, power would also be transferred to the outside rear wheel giving you a significant advantage in acceleration. It's something to be felt in a FWD, that's for sure.
If that didn't work... then..

I do in the MINI. You really have to do a lot of hard driving / track days / racing (not in a straight line) to be worth it. It allows you to carry more speed through corners and get better pull out of them.
