Default Lsd *help* Lsd

Hello everyone:

I am looking forward to find an LSD for my 98 GSR B18c.
It seems like I have no options with these crazy prices..

I saw an offer of OBX LSD on ebay priced at about $350 USD.

Does anyone have an idea if its worth the money?


Description:

For sale is a new OBX Helical limited slip differential. The helical limited slip differential is a torque sensing LSD that features smoothing operation and superior responsiveness. The unit does not require special oil like the clutch type limited slip differentials.
Part # LSD9000
This is a perfect upgrade for street and race use!

Fitment:
90-93 Integra RS/LS/GS/GSR (DA6)
94 - 2001 Integra RS/LS/GS (DC2)

Utilizes / Specs:
Weight: 11 pounds

It seems like other makers like http://www.quaifeamerica.com/ , http://www.kaazusa.com/products/products.htm are way-2-expensive.

Thank You
You may PM me or post here.

For the amount of effort it takes to put in LSD, I would kick my own ass if I put something as crappy as OBX in there.

Yes, there have been some success stories, but also some horror stories too. If I am going to do it, I will do it right and put in a Quaife.

I've heard as many possitive stories as I have negative. It's a toss-up IMO.
Most issues I've heard have been with trying to remove an axle...nothing major, but a PIA none the less....I've only heard a few stories of complete failure from the part....
If your capable of swapping the diff yourself then I would consider running one, if not and you have to pay someone a few hundred to install it...go with a quaife
