    What do you use the car for ?
    Fast road/track days
    Mainly road
    Tarmac or loose rally
    Circuit racing.
    Tyre & rim size
    Power output.

    So yes lots to take into consideration before you decide.

    I personally wouldn't waste my money on ATB other than for slow road use & pub talk.

    Unless you are a serious competitor fit an ATB; no funny noises, no wear of the plates, no headaches about rampangles and preload.

    If it's anywhere with tight corners or where one wheel can go light and loss of drive in these instances matter, then no a Torsen is not ideal.

    But for everything else they work well and are maintenance free, quiet, no hassle etc etc.

    They seem to make some nice stuff, ex TranX guys.

    I enquired with them about a diff for my 8.8", but they said they couldnt make one strong enough for my needs.

    They had a good promo video of their shop a while back, not sure where I seen it though.

    Seen this on YT though
