These kits run about $330 and allegedly give LSD performance in the stock differential.

​Anyone have any experience or feedback?
 
You posted the wrong site, but i'll tell you that the stock diff is made out of glass, making it a "LSD" isn't going to make it stronger.
 
Not sure what it does/how it works but it sounds like phantom grip, iirc. That LSD conversion kit put blocks of some sort in the differential to press on the spider gears. And as noted since they are weak anyways putting more force on them does not sounds like a good idea at all.
 
Phantom Grip, thanks for reminding me. I have a directory of pictures somewhere, probably on an old laptop, of trashed differentials that had Phantom Grip blocks and springs installed. They work for awhile, until your differential internals grind themselves to bits, that's best case. Worst case is if the planet gears go to pieces and shed gear teeth into your transaxle.

Looks like Phantom Grip has re-named itself Traction Concepts.
