ARB air locker instead of lsd?

Has anyone tried installing an ARB air locker in their fc?
It seems to be the best solution for daily drivers in my opinion.
You can have the rear diff open for liesurely commutes, and those pesky snow covered sideslopes.
Then , when you want to race someone, you flip the dashboard switch and go at it in true 2wd.

Just randomness.

suds.

A LSD is better in every way for a street/track car. A locker is only used off-road, it will be hell on the diff/axles/tires on the street. Also considering you can buy a used N/A LSD rear end for failry cheap, and dont have to hassle with opening up the rear end, I dont see why you would want this.
