I used the search but I couldn`t really find much info on the ats carbon LSD. I`m looking for input from members that have had it or currently have it with their setup. Your input is much appreciated

i haven't been able to experience myself, but i got to meet soem of the guys that work at ATS at the nopi nationals in arizona. The material i hear from tohers are very strong and lightweight(carbon of course). My buddy has one on his GS-R and he likes it a lot, grabs you into the turn. Thats just what i hear

I have the ATS carbon LSD, here's my advice...
For street use, forget it. There is a loud "thunking" sound that comes from the LSD when turning at low speeds or reversing. So much so, that you'll think something is seriously wrong until you get use to it.
For track use, this is by far one of the best (if not THE BEST) addition I've made. I can drift the car at will around tight corners and it has much better grip around the sweepers. It slows everything down... so the backend doesn't come flying out on you when you push it. You feel it happening and can adjust.

Dude... its a limited slip. It practically has to make noise by virtue of its function.
