do you drive on wet pavement , fast, and expect to make fast turns on wet pavement.
learn the down side here. lean it or get in trouble fast.
The best for the street is ,are, clutch pack type called LSD. they slip , and prevent skids like above....
The best set up is by command, lockup, turn it off , on the street and live.
there are many kinds, electric and vacuum are 2.
there pros-cons of axles , are vast.
depends one what you need, and where you drive.
it's and endless, topic, kinda like tires.
here is good post on other random , reviews.
Lock Right is a great invention. Simple yet very effective off road.
It eliminates the weak point of a differential off road; transmitting the torque to the wheel with the least traction and causing you to stall.
There are 2 forces that influence the Locker. One is delivered from the engine through the drive shaft, the other comes from the wheels due to different rotation speeds.
The first force causes the Locker to lock while the latter causes it to unlock.
Off road, where there is little traction, the force coming from the engine “prevails”, locks the Locker and ensures that torque is delivered to the wheel that is on the ground keeping you moving forward.
On tarmac the situation is different especially during turning. Here you need to be very careful with the accelerator. The wheels’ uneven rotation tell the Locker to unlock. However, if you press the accelerator, the drive shaft tells the Locker to lock and now you have a fight. This fight is translated into loud knocking sounds that are unpleasant at best but can also cause vigorous rocking of the car (especially in manual gear transmission).
By the way, normal behavior while turning is a clicking sound, which means the Locker unlocks. This is one sound that you need to get used to.
I did not drive yet on wet tarmac (pavement), but I imagine you need to be extra careful during turning since there is not enough road traction to unlock the Locker and you might have to deal with a spinning car.
Bottom line. If you can live with the disadvantages of the Locker in day to day driving in order to have better off road experience, install it.

I found some info that explains about 1510LR, 1512LR and the 1532 LR
