    All my locker experience has been in trucks/jeeps from off roading. They could be violent is corners if you accelerated or decelerated. Maybe the car lockers have softer springs and are smoother? Lighter vehicle could possibly help?

    I'm really considering going with a spool. I just don't want it to kill the drivability of the car. I don't drive it in the rain or very hard out back roads. I'm just looking for some input from guys who might be running a spool on their street cars.

    My car 60ft's low 1.3's

    Or if anyone has a better suggestion please post up.
    What did you end up going with ?

    I haven't order anything yet. But I'm most likely going with a spool.

    My buddy joe has a spool (not sure of brand) in his bolt on only ls6 car with a midwest fab 9 and it is ridiculous when making tight turns in parking lots side streets etc. you can definitely feel the bind and the tires trying to slip. other than that tho you can't tell its there. get ready for crunchy tight turns lol. it makes you look that more badass tho pulling in to a car meet..
