This should help explain to anyone who would like to know anything about limited slips.

Thanks, Ryan. That's some useful info.

If you've read some of my posts, I'm a great fan of my Auburn limited slip. I think that limited slips are pretty much a compromise between lockers and open differentials. They are somewhere in between. It depends on your use as to whether you choose one or not. Being primarily a daily driver with a little off road use and some occasional deep snow, I chose accordingly. The agressiveness of them ranges from mild (most factory setups) to ones that are closer to a locker (like the Auburn and possibly the Detroit). The choice is pretty much up to the buyer.
