Thinking about purchasing a LSD, need some incite

I was wondering if anyone bought this product yet and feedback on what your experience was like with it? http://www.jscspeed.com/evo_x/clutch/cuscolsd_evox.htm. Does it help with the 10% power loss associated with awd cars. Because i was thinking about buying the 1 way.

How many track days do you have on your car? What other mods?

Just trying to feel out why you feel this upgrade is necessary?

As a replacement for a faulty LSD maybe but you aren't going to gain any noticeable performance increase.

yea im just trying to figure out what it exactly does. Im not really going to track the car anytime soon. I do eventually want to track it once in while just for pure fun. I just have a intake and uicp pipe on the way. It said that it reduced power loss so i was guessing it reduces that 10% lost that awd suffer from. I want to know more about what it exactly does for performance from people that actual have it. I'm guessing this more for the track than the drag strip?

The word is insight, and your car comes with LSD's stock.

wow,since when did you all become english professors? I'm sorry didn't realize this was a english class maybe I'm in the wrong website. Last time i checked this is a evo website since when do we get graded on the punctuation use in our threads? gotta love the upscale evo owners, oops I mean you have to love the upscale Lancer Evolution owners on here. I want to get a good grade in here.Thanks accrane.

Your Evo has some of the the most technically advanced LSD's on the planet. 3 of them in fact (as mentioned above). It's not an area you need to mess with on these cars.
