just what i was going to say, have a good look around, some people have very little problems with plate diffs and long service intervals.
The Quaife however is literally fit and forget, 12000 miles down the line you wont have to replace the plates in it or anything. There are many a good review about both types off diff, they are both better than standard though.
When i get around to it i will be fitting a Quaife.
Ive been in saxo VTS with one of Quiafes MA gear kits and diff in it, was really quite impressed, topped out at around 100mph on limiter though, the VTS's are nigh on as quick as a GTI6 upto a ton normally, but this thing would leave a GTI6 standing untill it topped out, went around bends too, stock suspension, could really feel the diff working, pulling it through the corners.
Everyone has thier own opinion, but it is you choice as to whos you'd like to follow, the plate 'sounds' (i have no experience with them, just what i have read) better as an all out competition type diff, but the fit and forget aspect of the Quiafe is hard to forget. yes it works like an open diff if a wheel is lifted, but for a road or track car if you are lifting the inside front wheel other than clipping curbs then you need to re-assess your suspnsion set up.
Just my 2p's worth.
