Never used Qauife but something related, I had a friend who had a modified 400 HP Mercedes C32 AMG with Quaife differential and it made a world of a difference.
Increased traction and improved his 1/4 mile time.

From what I can tell the Quaife LSD is more or less the same as the stock Torsen LSD in the car already. The only difference is probably there to get around the different patents each manufacturer has.

There would be no point replacing the Torsen with a Quaife. They both go open when one tire is totally unloaded. The only LSD change that would make a difference is a clutch pack type like a Kaaz. At least with those you can choose a 1, 1.5 or 2 way, and it still is a LSD when one wheel is off the ground. Of course this is traded off with additional maitenance, wear and worse daily drivablity.

[QUOTE=S2KPUDDYDAD]Hi,
Do you guys make an LSD for the Honda S2000?
I own a 2002 Honda S2000 (AP1 F20C) and I am looking to add a 1.5 Lsd to the differential.
Thank you

Thanks for finding that old thread 
At the time of this correspondence with Quaife they were not making an LSD for our car, since then they now do. The advantage to there unit would be greater durability over the stock unit. Quaife also offers a great warranty
