I'm not sure you really understand the benefits of a new differential on an AWD car

Default if you have quattro the lsd would have only marginal benefit if your fwd the lsd is in your favor.
for $1000 i'm assuming you have quaife on your mind, also check out penequin(sp?)

Default Um no. Like Chup said below, you are misinterperting the benefits of new differentials
which would be pretty non-existent on a street car.

I wouldn't spend my money on either though.

Default An LSD will give you much better traction if you have lots of power going to the wheels
otherwise you are a "peg leg" like I am.
