I have the ATS LSD, which IMHO is better. You can write to Motorwerks for additional information. I think it is less expensive and better quality. Akram@mwhouston.com
Good luck

Another option is OSgiken. I have their LSD in the GT2 and SCCA T3 Honda S2000. The Porsche LSD is new but installation was not an issue as it required only the correct shims which they all require. It is seamless in operation and very progressive in lockup.

I got the Guard LSD (50/80 lockup for better trail braking) but it was because I went RWD. then it is a must. not sure what it would add in AWD configuration.

I just got this reply from ATS-USA


Dear Elliot
Good morning.
ATS Japan notified me that ATS LSD does not fit 4wd . I am very sorry. I thought the ATS LSD for 996 GT2 & GT3 wouldl fit your car, but they told me it would not.
Regards,
Yasu / PPI

HAs anyone used one in a 4WD 996tt?

Thanks Elliot

According to my PET the GT3 LSD # is 996 332 083 9B
The 996TT LSD# is 996 332 083 9B

Both are 40/65% LSD's

I wouldn't take this to the bank and do some more checking. I would be wary of buying an LSD from a supplier who doesn't know what it fits.

Hey Rob how do you like the RWD in your car?
Does your ATS act as a spool affect so it kinda chatters going around a corner? I have been thinking about doing it.

I love it... but you know my car is really only set up for runs in Mexico. I have the ATS clutch as well as the LSD. It is great for traction. I hope this helps

Yea Rob Kinda does, I street drive mine so i like that aspect, But at night i do race it. I get suckered in to racing from a dig so the AWD helps a bit i think. I wish Mexico was closer for me!!
