GT2 bad limited slip (differential)

Has anyone besides me had a bad limited slip assembly in their GT2?
If you are not sure jack up the back of the car and spin 1 wheel in neutral and if the other rear wheel does not spin(no resistance)...your unit is bad as well
I have been working very closely with Cary Eisenlohr in regards to my full race suspension and we just diagnosed this today
He expressed to me that almost every GT2 he has been in contact with has a bad Differential
I am contemplating the GT3 RS race replacement dif. more money!!
So all you GT2 guys please check your cars

OK... not to hijack your thread, but what is my buddy Cary doing to your suspension?

He is THE man!

Most of the GT3 guys seem to be going with the Porsche Motorsport GT3 Cup diff or a modified one from Guard.

Mine is ok. 7,500 miles - some mods (GIAC controller, exhaust, suspension etc). Some hard driving and 5 track days. Only a couple of hard launch's.
