Shep upgraded rear diff
If you haven't done this yet you should, it actually has fixed some of the built in understeer these cars have, the more I drove it the more benifits ive seen, one is it drives more like a rear drive car and two off the line traction has greatly improved. Takes just under an hour with hand tools to swap the diff out on a lift, be sure to use a trans jack to support the front. Another install note is be sure to run factory Diaqueen LSD fluid, the dif will chatter for a few miles on tight turns, Shep suggested to do some figure eights in a parking lot to break in the clutch's, I now have zero noise in any situation.

How comparable is this to TRE's Maaxlock rear diffs?

yea sorry i just pmd you -
when i had just the gruppe-s acd reflash i didn't drive the car aggressively enough to notice a difference. once i got both i went autocrossing, but i wasnt able to test either individually, the gruppe-s cuz i was only driving on the street, and the rear lsd because i already had the gruppe-s at that point
