you shouldn't do it because your car will inevitably get away from you and you will either hurt yourself, your car, someone else or all of the above. Just my thoughts. Get used to the VLSD first then maybe think about it. and ur gonna go through tires like crazy, but some people could care less about that so hey.

No reason why you shouldn't. Racers do it all the time for a cheap spare diff. On turn-in the car will usually push really bad, but you get lots of grip on the way out of the corner...too much really.

do it. if you have an LSD to put in anyway, why not try it? you can tell us how it works out. i was planning on trying it when i got an LSD.

if its for a daily driver it will kinda suck since your car won't turn in easily at all and anytime you have to turn sharp (parallel parking or pulling into spaces) its gonna suck monkey balls.
