Limited Slip Question

If I mainly do pavement driving, and my main goal is to be able to safely cross against traffic when the roads are wet (Seattle), without sitting there spinning for a while ... Is a Traction-Loc limited Slip unit going to server me just as well as an Auburn or Eaton etc?

Thanks for the info.

The trac-loc should be adequate for the purposes you are talking about. As far as response goes, the auburn or eaton would probably be better than a trac-loc in stock form, but may be more aggressive than you want. Personally, I don't think either is too aggressive but everyone has different opinions.
