Default LSD:Cusco or Kazz?

Hey guys
Well, my diff finally took a shit due to lots of abuse with launches, cornering, hard shifting and my new blower. I've decided to upgrade my diff since this would be the perfect time because my cars at the dealer for warranty. I have a 4.44 r/p set and want to get a new lsd but can't decide if I should go with a cusco 1.5 rs, cusco 2.0 mz, or kazz 1.5 lsd. I rather dump everthing in at once since my friends at honda are doing it for free.What are you guys running and how's your experience with these lsd's?I also plan on upgrading the diff to comptechs reinforced diff. Would any of you recommend it? Please guy's any info would be appreciated.

most clutch type lsd will be "louder" than stock... if you heard nothing it would probably be experiencing a failure...

I'm just looking for a better lsd. I think my stock lsd is fine because it catches normally.

2 ways are very noisy and you will definately feel the grab.

What do you mean by rough at slow speeds? I got a j's 70rr and that is loud. It can't be louder than my exhaust but you mean diff loudness.

yes it can be louder then your exhaust. I had the J's SPL Header with a straight pipe and J's N1, now that combo was loud as hell. and at slow speeds like in a parking lot or making a u turn the diff clunks as its locking. it makes very loud noises.

I guess I'm gonna go with a cusco 1.5rs. Everyones telling me that the cusco is great for normal driving and track days and better than kazz.Would you guys agree?

You may want to take a look at this LSD. A good friend of mine has one in his 240sx. I had a comparable Metal based LSD in my car (240sx at the time). His was considerably quieter and smooth. It is a good LSD for track use. Not Drifting or Drag however.
