If you search here on "Quaife" you'll get a lot of threads. I doubt it's much better or worse than the factory helical LSD, but I could be wrong.

if your car didnt come with the factory lotus LSD and you really need to have one, then quaife isnt a bad choice...thinking about doing the same thing to mine

And a JDM helical is about half the price of a Queef.

Quaiffe

In the UK,they have a sterling reputation---great in Elans-(old ones) I think they are akin to the torsen diff more commonly known here. No clutch pacs like the Salisbury diff,which means less(no?)maintenance.

Torsen and Quaife are both brands of helical gear, torque biasing, limited-slip units.
