Default carbonetics rear diff

I have a boosted 05 honda s2000 pushing 450hp and am about to purchase a diff but i am not sure which one i should go with. I was thinking about getting the 1.5 way carbonetic carbon LSD (ACHRB9510) or the 1.5 way metal LSD ( AHRB9510) I use my car mostly for weekend runs, shows, and sometimes track. I am just wondering if anyone has either of these and how they like them and which would be best for me. Also if they both can hold the power i am not really knowledgeable about about diffs so, any advice that is correct would be great

Also i am wondering what else i should get because if i am going to replace the diff i don't want anything else to break back there i have heard the housing is usually another place to start ....

Well the lsd doesnt break, so either of those would be a complete waste of money for your scenario.

Your real choices are: puddymod, fullblown ford 8.8, and inlinepro r200.

Research those.

if you are going to dish the cash out, the full blown IS the best for the money... the 8.8 is a beast.

pretty much... if you upgrade the diff, you axles are a problem still... puddymod is a good choice, but for overall price to reliability its the 8.8... that entire setup can take 1000hp. then you gotta pick up the trans when money allows lol

The housing/end caps are what typically breaks, and it is almost always on launches, not just regular driving.
