Just after opinions on people who run them. What are they like?

Fantastic. For powerful fwd cars I don't think you can do anything better for traction. Takes a little bit of getting used to if you have it installed in a car you know already - you just have to learn not to go with instinct and back off when the understeer is about to come in... push the accelerator more and feel it pull you into the corner. Great bit of kit.

They are not as advanced as the Wavetrac, but they are good.

I have run both and would have either.

Unless you track the car hard you possibly won't even notice the difference.

Plus the Quaife is cheaper.

The wavetrac is no more advance - its just a torsen lsd with added snake-oil

 

Wavetrac/Peloquin/Quaife are all much of a muchness

 

Get whichever one you can buy and have fitted cheapest

For the last week, I've been driving a FWD car with a Quaife LSD fitted.  The car is running its winter map, so is detuned to about 330bhp.  I haven't experienced the full summer map yet but I must say that compared to my usual  car without an LSD it's absolutely fantastic.  Getting out of corners is a joy and there is little, if any of the normal torque steer I can occasionally experience on the standard setup.  If I had the money I'd be installing one in my Vectra for sure, especially before it has a remap.

Thought Quaife purely because they've been about for years. Only re-posted this in General Car Chat so more saw it. Drove a JCW MINI with an LSD, unsure what brand but was very good. The Octy I have now had roughly 280bhp so seems the next logical modification. Had a quick search and Awesome GTI can supply and fit so I'll start saving now.
