Understeer

Understeer is when the front breaks loose first.

Yes. Quik has a limited-slip diff. I don't know if he's posted about it here, though.

 

[Quik LS]

yes - an LSD meant for a 8.8" 28 spline application (read mustang) will drop into a Gen1 diff casing. you have to use Gen1 gears/pinion thought.

There are a few threads on this - there are good reads.

Yep. I have one installed too. Lou, sully, jason, and myself all have put in either a limited slip or a locker. Jason swapped out for the 8.8" pumpkin and installed 4.10s. But that requires a custom drive shaft and custom front brace.
