Focus ST Mountune LSD

Hi All, I'm a newbie here. Has anyone upgraded their Focus to include a limited slip differential?

I've been eyeing off the Mountune (Quaife) diff as an upgrade.

I have a MY16 ST and am more than surprised by the wheel spin I get even at low throttle inputs. Pulling out of my street onto a main road to slot into a gap in the traffic without wheel spin can only be done by idling around the corner (over the uneven surface) and lining it up straight before accelerating.

Anyway, keeping on topic, has anyone done the LSD upgrade? What were the pitfalls? If you had your time again would you do the same?

Mountune can be very over priced. This is probably the way id go. Ive known the owner of that website and workshop for a while.

Thanks, it wasn't much difference between the 2 brands in the end. With the diff at $1,300 (inc delivery), parts at $950 and installation at $1,500, it all started to get a bit too costly. Back to the drawing board.
