So for $3k clutch-pack LSD can be had (F/L). Alternately you can order up a ROW C2S transmission with a factory LSD (different gear ratios; shorter 1st & 2nd gear, etc [direct fit]) but as you were saying (durabilty). $8k + is a lot of money for something that isn't offering spare parts (for rebuild). For that matter Stasis couldn't provide a good answer with regards to clutch discs and the like for their diff either. From a maintenance/longevity standpoint a Helical would be a welcome change, albeit with some compromise.

I read in this month's Christophorus mag that the 2007 Boxster / S are getting a power boost....2.7L /245 hp and 3.4L /295 hp. It did not make any reference to the Caymans, but my guess is that they have to increase the HPs to justify the premium pricing!!!

Mooty, et. el.,
That are looking at LSD's. You may want to check out this thread at CaymanClub, where someone is tyring to set up a group buy on an LSD. Unfortunately the type of LSD, etc. is beyond my expertise.
