Default locker? truetrack?

How many people are running lockers in a s60 with a m6? Do you like em. Hows the driveability and noise. Do they clunk that bad or are people blowing this out of porportion. I will probably be putting down 600 on the street and turn the wg's up at the track to around 900-950. I don't think that the truetrack is going to take it according to the posts in the searches I've made and the locker seems to be a pain the butt as well when it comes to noise and manners. I was just looking for a update on these lockers since there are more s60's running around. Does anyone have a video of what the lockers are like or could you make one. I will be ordering a s60 monday so I was kind of needing it quick so I can make a decision. I know I know that is asking a lot but I would appreciate it. Thanks guys,
Chris

Lockers clunk SOOOOO bad its not even funny, the rear feels like its broken.

I use a tru trac in my 12 bolt, I have managed to break it due to wheel hop at the track and it acted exactly like a locker.... VERY annoying as well. the 2nd unit has had no issues and drives like a posi, very seemless.

Tru Track has no center pin connected to the diff housing. Can't bind range of motion of the axles. Keep that in mind.

Wasn't an option for the 12 bolt, at least not when I bought mine.
