Not 100% sure if im right but its worth a try, i think the car has a little computer or something and if the car is turning left, the outer wheel spins quicker than the inside wheel allowing the car to travel around the corner or turn quicker? Something along those lines i think? Remember reading it when i was considering getting myself a Megane R26....nice car imo....except the massive asss!!

Quaife LSD is a meachanical "fit and forget" LSD. It simply transfers power to the wheel with the most grip. It acts faster than the ESP in the golf and so works in harmony with it. It enables you to corner faster and accellerate faster. The traction control in the GTI (and others) actually REDUCES the power to the wheels as they lose grip and so having an LSD goes some way to counteracting a heavy right foot.

Fitted it costs around £1,300.

So would i be right in saying that its not really going to increase you straight line speed??

You would see a definite benefit in straight line speed in the wet from a standing start and in the dry it can knock a couple of hundredths off your 0-60, but that's about it. The LSD is more about Broad blasts and trackday times rather than straight line drags.
