Factory LSD not that good?

Ok so I have a simple question. From my understanding, the TL has a helical gear type lsd? Or at least I am under the impression that the Type S's and the 6spd 04-06's do. If this is true then why does my TL torquesteer all over the place?! You can blame it on fwd, but my 300whp supercharged RSX never torquesteered once I put the quaife in so I'm confused

No, it's because of FWD. LSD can't eradicate it.
My TL-S 6MT torque steers all over the place....horrible really. It's the one major downside about this car. I will never buy a FWD car again....almost as bad as my turbo Talon TSi I had awhile back.

solution for torque steer = hold steering wheel with both hands lol


but anyways, i don't think LSD has anything to do with torque steer.

this thread has some info on the LSD, scroll down like half a page for good info
