Default The B5 S4 has open front and rear differentials. Quaife LSD's are great. I have experience with them

on other platforms.

Default The Quaife LSD is only recommended for the front if at all, it will not provide locking...

under most hard cornering situations in regards to the rear diff.

Default Nope, but the STaSIS rear LSD is a nice.

Autospeed is selling their quaifes for $1400 and the STaSIS LSD is $2000.

You could leave the front open, get the STaSIS at the rear, and "save" $800 over two quaifes.

Default I am planning on doing both for my car, and a Peolquin for the rabbit...

and a Bildon clutch type for the rabbit truck. A Stasis rear would be nice but for the price I can almost buy both Quaif.

For me it will be mostly for unstoppable snow traction. The rabbit is going to be the track car.
