I know OBX makes a lot of lsd's, but didnt know they made one for our cars...... I had a throttle body spacer from them on my old cavalier..... Good price, may be worth a shot, someone guinea pig it, cause im all over it if it is worthy!

i don't wanna guinea pig my tranny into a teaching aid at the local high school autoshop though, but if it's good though it may be worth the risk.

am I the only one that thinks this is too good to be true? The fact that it's on Ebay and OBX's website appears to be down makes this look a little sketchy

The biggest issue you have to look at when getting an OBX LSD is the bolts. The most I've heard is people receiving the lsd with loose bolts. They usually take it apart and make sure its assembled properly and torque properly. Once thats done, no one has ever had an issue with them. I was going to buy one for my crx. I had done a lot of research on them before making the decision too. Plus they are only $350 or less.

Isn't Quaife no more? I don't think you can buy their products anymore.
