Default Rear end
I have used both the cone type and had poor results in road racing, good for one or two meetings and thats it, the LSD plate type has a lot more wear area and nowadays with my 8.8" it has an Eaton posi LSD with carbon fibre plates, having tried this one yet but I am assuming they last longer than old LSD plate types of the 60's 70's!

Also used Detroit Lockers for road racing in a not very forgiving sports sedan, I think the locker action made the handling worse!
