Default What locker for the rear

I have an 01 Z and the G80 is fixing to take a and I remeber a few months back there was a thread about the locker/limited slip that everyone was recommending but I cant find it in the search. If anyone has had good experience with a locker let me know. I want something that has good street manners so a full on locker like a detroit wouldnt really fit the bill.

Thanks, Cody

I got the 19559-1 (or 19559-010) Eaton LSD. Good durability, rebuildable, lots of happy people out there running them.

Does this unit require the "special bearings" that are listed at the Eaton web site?

Thats right. Only the 98-earlier use the special bearing. The 99-later use the stock bearing size. Eatons are great units.
