I had the same bu tthen put a "new" OEM Diff and there was no spin anymore.

I agree that a clutch type 1.5 diff pretty sure is better but more expensive to buy and also needs much more servicing.

not likely. You have make some pretty crazy setup changes to deal w/ the requirement to keep both wheels on the ground. If one wheel gets light you get an open diff and inside wheelspin. There is no amount of swapping out with other oem diffs to fix that. Its how the torsen type/helical (oem) diff works.

Clutch avoids that and lets me not have to run a solid front sway bar, no rear and 400in/lb f-r spring stagger.

I run an ATS 2way carbon clutch type. Have not had a failure yet. The car is not difficult to drive. The car does seem to feel like I am trail braking, but I like that.I guess to each his own.
