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?

Nice, sounds pretty comparable to the Tre. I actually got the cusco 1.5 way rs, just cuz of some difficulty contacting some people etc, but i'm sure they all work fairly similarly.
definitely something all usdm ct9a cars should do!

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
