affordable lsd?

hey i remember when my wife had her sunfire ( shhhhh ) a friend of mine purchased a lsd from a company called phantom grip well after checking into they make lsd's for the protege ( auto or manual ).. just wondering if somebody has used this for the protege cause i want to order one soon..let me know thanks guys

to add onto this i just called a dealer for the phantom grip lsd and what he said is for the money you cant beat it, he said upgrade to the extreme lsd for $379..basically what i got back is " it works like a 1.5 lsd and he said that when doing a burnout ( waterbox,etx. ) you wont get perfect dual tire plants , but it will not be anything really noticable. no real big pulling or torque steer. i think it sounds good and my friend never had any issues w/ the product. ..

NO! do not do it. CRAP CRAP CRAP.

Spend the money for the Quaiffe or don't worry about doing it at all.

Phantom Grip is a piece of junk. Think about it like this:

They retail this "limited slip" for $299. It probably costs about $15 to make. If it was worth a crap EVERY fwd car made would have one of these in them from the factory.

I've known several people to blow their trannys using the PG.... SHO owners (g-series trannies like ours) and protege owners.

Stay away. Put that $300 down towards a Quaiffe and when you do you'll sleep better knowing your tranny won't grenade next time you downshift.

Uh, thus spaketh The Man. Trvth.

It is hard to get him to open up with an opinion, though. Perhaps he could share his feelings with the group. Don't bottle it up inside!
LoL.
