seriously, don't cheap out. if something goes wrong with the lsd, it takes a good amount of time and money to get it out. either save up and buy the quaife/trd LSD, or don't bother cuz 1 single problem with either of those LSD's (obx or phantom grip) would pretty much make up the difference.

as for the difference, the OBX is a knockoff of quaife/trd one, and then phantom grip is a clutch based LSD.

Oh and might I add, OBX pedals have great traction.

what i have heard is that you might have to grind the top of the spider gears to get it to slip in snugly

^ exactly what I had to do during the install. I do all my own work, but if you're not 100% sure of yourself pay someone to install it. Or...have tons of baggies handy and your girlfriend there to label all the parts. The differential is the very last part you'll pull from the transmission when putting in the phantom grip or LSD.

I have the Phantom Grip in my car and love it.
