Gq, rear LSD better or worse then Detroit mechanical locker?

Post by morewheeldrive »

Was thinking about changing my rear LSD for a mechanical locker, but only if it's worth it. I figure maybe the locker will hold two wheels better then my tired old LSD. Any thoughts?

the lsd will be better for on road driving and tyre wear and safer on road in the wet

the locker will be better off road and easier to get the car sideways in the wet , will also wear out tyres faster on road depending on how you drive

each has its pros and cons although for a daily driven car i recon the lsd is best with an airlocker up front
