It’s an OEM differential from the 968. It what you got with the m220 option on those cars.
Besides that they don't do anything on trailing throttle like the clutch types do, Whether this is important or just nice depends on the brake system specific and usage

At worst the clutch type stabilize the rear a little at best a lot helo

the asymetrics(accel/decel) are the best clutch type they can be built w/ the widest variety of specs and for the widest variety of usages

most ZFs used in 915 and early g50 are nominally 40/40 but can set to 80/80 by rearranging the disk packs

964 2wd use 40/40, 964RS & t use 20/100, 993 use 25/65 or 22/40 depending, 993RS use 40/65

generally for street use you want a larger decel # and not too large at that, the 20/100s on 964RS/t got a lot of negative feedback

a large accel # gets dicey on a totally slick surface, full ice sheet or large oil spill being good examples

the asymmetrics get their nominal specs from ramp angles unlike the earlier ones that got their names from the # of friction surfaces and preload used

964


964RS on left GT on right


993




997 GT3 50/80
