Quaife (im sure torsen does to) have life time warrentys, even while racing....I ahve had mine for 2 years and have done more thn my fair share of hard driving....
I ahve never seen or heard of one breaking.

Do LSDs help reduce/eliminate torque steer?

Both tires getting equal power...  
Yes they help a lot with torque steer.
Our platform also has equal length half shafts that help some in that area as well.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

Which LSD would you guys say is better, the Torsen or the Quaife. Specifically, which would hold up better to more power because I'll be getting up there before I'm done and I don't want to rip apart the LSD. Thanks.

its really not about which one willhold power....Zthe quaife has a 2:1 ration and the torsen comes in either 2:1 or 3:1 ratio. Must people i have talked to pefer the torsen for drag racing...altough DemonSVT preferes it for just about anything! lol  As for me i am happy with my quaife, as it has servered me well in 3 autocross events in the last 2 years...it may come down to price for you, as the torsen is usually slightly cheaper.

hey is my zetec liekly to break the diff? It will break the tires, 215 60, loose when dropping in 2nd and if I really try 3rd. What exactly breaks in these things? Does it generally destroy the tranny in the process? In my neon I blew the tranny up after hard driving since the diff pin slid out and let the spider gears go.

I was going by what i was told...i ahve not done research on the pricing....I know i picked up my quaife for 550.00 2 years ago...a few people mentioned to me that they picked up a torsen for 525.00.

EDIT: Todd, i did a little research...cheapest i found was about 625.00.....i might have mixed up my info, as my friend works a a ford only performance shop here, i might have mixed up his cost with retail....I apologize for my inncorrect infomation.

I know Demon said "BULLETPROOF". What exactly does that mean? Is it possible to break the LSD portion of the differential and still have a driveable vehicle, just without the limited slip?
