I love my Quaife.....can't make a comparison to any other though, just the Quaife eliminates wheel spin under any circumstance without even noticing....

Matt at Guard has the only diffs and rebuild parts we will use for a Porsche. Just finished building one for a GT3RS yesterday.

Cheers

From what I've read, the quaife is good for lower speed / tighter stuff like autocross. It's also maintenance free. But it doesn't work if a rear wheel is unloaded so if you have a lot of rear swaybar or like to use curbs in the track its not for you.

The clutch type ones are better and more consistent for track work, and better for big power cars. But they induce low speed understeer and the clutch plates eventually wear.

Take it with a grain of salt, as while I've driven both types, neither has been in a 911. As with anything, best is to identify your needs and luck the best solution for you.

The asymmetric lock up feature of the GT and late Porsche lsds is really nice in that it has a higher lock on decel to help w/ braking and can then be set up to be less intrusive in different cornering situations where various amounts of throttle are used but still put the power down on full throttle out of a corner

The last ting you want is a diff that's intrusive at the wrong time, which is why most cars come w/o any limited slip diff at all

Guard- Don't bother with anything else. If you do not get a Guard up front, you will after the first one you bought.
