choosing a 2 way lsd, need help from knowledgble rotor heads!

i've been debating and debating which 2 way lsd to get

my choices are the

kaaz 2 way lsd
(a 1.5 converted to a 2 way)

http://www.driftfactory.com/product_...roducts_id=211

and

a mazdaspeed 2 way from corksport (this is not the adjustable w/ the screw driver)

http://corksport.com/store/category/...rivetrain.html




price is not an issue cause they are about the same

anyone have any past experiences

or

should i just get my stock lsd rebuilt?

this is going on a strictly built drift car, while occassionly i'll take it out to go to the gym or something

I have a mazdaspeed 2 way, locks up very nicely, also if you can get a 4.3 one is makes the car feel much quicker

It is VERY clunky tho..

I've also got a mazdaspeed 2-way, its very tight.. almost too harsh for daily driving, but holy **** it locks up awesome like wezz said. U-turns are very fun with it

Havn't got anything bad to say about it..

Mazdrift represent wezzmo#!@#!@$%#@

I had a Cusco 2 way RS on my street/circuit car and although it was fantastic when the car was pushed, it was way too clunky and i took it out after 2 weeks. On a car used for nothing but drift, great, if you use it on the street you will get p1ssed off with real quick

if money is not an issue then the best lsd to get is the TORSEN unit, will last longer and has better holding quality. mazdatrix sells them.

Torsens are a good choice for street/light track use - good wear, smooth - but they do not work if a rear wheel is unloaded, hence why a poor choice for drift or serious track use.
