Default obx lsd

looking to buy one for my b-series cable tranny just wondering what people think about them, and what experiences people are having with them.

Just dont beat the shit out of it,and do fluid exchanges like every 5000 miles.

I heard there not really bad if you take care of your tranny,just dont forget the company that makes it,its the most affordable for a reason.

Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed. They're fine for regular street use, and there is a reason they're pretty cheap.

i know someone who has one in a 400+ integra he's had no problems. when he got it he inspected and reassembled it with stronger hardware. but, its still an OBX

I have one and it comes with a lifetime warranty so I would'nt worry to much about it.

it will hold up. if you want, you can upgrade the internals (washers and bolts) like i did. read this thread: http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread/1752849

Drag racing is a pretty easy application for it; it only needs to work in a straight line without any speed difference through corners. It should work fine.

would a spool be better than the lsd for a pretty much only track car it will never hit the road again, and gets trailered to the track?

Cheaper yes, better is debatable though. Strip-only cars have used spools for a long time with great success. A spool will put a lot of driveline stress into the tranny when doing any sort of turning with slicks though, such as at the beginning or end of a run when you're getting on/off the track.
