I am RUNNING an E153 with LSD in my setup, BUT have had the experience of running an E153 NON-LSD on my old setup to compare to.....and I can tell you there are ZERO differences between the E153 LSD and E153 NON-LSD in the way the care feels under NORMAL driving conditions. Normal meaning just out driving, not really pushing the car.

When taking a turn and accelerating threw it WITHOUT putting any real load on the motor.....the E153 LSD feels/acts NO DIFFERENT than the same car with a NON-LSD E153.....As a matter a fact.....it feels/acts NO DIFFERENTLY than a NON-LSD S54.

Now, when you are really pushing the car is when you feel the LSD. When pushing the car in a straight line.....the car is smooth as glass, and there is ZERO torque steer, unlike NON-LSD transmissions where you really need to hold/fight the wheel when accelerating hard.

As for turning....well a NON-LSD will be able to turn "sharper" than a LSD when really pushing the car threw a turn. If I push the car threw a turn, I can feel the car want to "push/straighten out" in the opposite direction of the turn. This is because both tires are doing the same speed, when the inside wheel "should/want" to spin at a slower rate.

To clear that up.....if I am really pushing the car hard threw a sharp right hand turn, the cars wants to "push/straighten out" to the left......and opposite goes for a left hand turn.

This is not uncontrollable by any means, just takes a bit of getting used to.
