Only reason you would benefit is if you plan on modding your car to insane horsepower. The quaiffe has a lifetime warranty, so you wouldn't have to worry about it. Other wise you are set the way you are.

It was a great upgrade for my 8 that had an open diff.

Quaife is also an helical lsd AFAIK. Unless you have insane torque output (more than GT
35R) and do frequent hard launches you'll be ok with stock front helical LSD IMHO.

BTW does your JDM VII have a rear AYC or LSD? A rear AYC is your real headache.
Constant hard launches will break the AYC sooner or later; even with 16G turbos.
Best fix is a JDM/UK Evo 8/9 RS (used?) rear LSD/axle swap... Much stronger than AYC.

After, use the cost of a Quaife to buy an EvoGREEN turbo. Better investment IMHO.
