I have...

Not worth the hassle, and not for a 944 track car. :-)

I tried the phantom grip years ago, and it was not worth the time, effort, and money.

Stick with Guards, Quaife, or the OEM LSDs.

I have also tried it, twice. The first one made no difference at all, it still felt like an open diff.

So I got another, with much stronger springs (claimed to be 80% lockup) and it still felt very weak. It felt like factory LSD that was starting to wear out. Eventually one of the pins backed itself out and all the spider gears fell apart, causing a huge explosion in my diff, punching a 5 inch hole in the case and everything. It was insane.

So, big waste of time for me. Factory LSD feels so much nicer!

What's up with the Wavetrac ones? They seem to be quality. Are they up there with OEM and Quafe?
