Strong FWD cars see much more wheelspin than RWD, so it will put more strain on clutch-package. Also, LZ diff main strength - stabilizing effect on rear thanx to it's locking effect while braking - will not be used to it's full extent.
In the end, you'll pay more money to get LSD that will produce more heat and have to be rebuild from time to time.
Quaife will open up on braking but it doesn't matter on FWD cars, especially if you are used to brake in corners. It will also last longer and produce less heat.
If you had RWD car and was chasing last few seconds on the track, Salisbury/LZ cluch-type LSD would be better (though pricier) choice. In FWD street car, nahh...better save those pennies and buy Quaife unit which will perform as good.
