lots of debate on this

you need to know the spool wears tires faster, harder to make tight turns, can get loose easy in the rain

I would NOT recommend a spool for the street. I recived a email from Wavetrac and they will offer their differential soon for the S60. If you can wait I would go that route or go with a Tru Trac for now

IMO, if it's a DD, I would not get a spool. You'll be wearing out your rear tires very quickly.

I've heard about WaveTrac coming out for the S60s and that's my plan. I've got a S60 with a Tru Trac sitting in the shop waiting to be installed. I figure that once the Tru Trac goes hopefully the Wavetrac will be out and I'll pick up one of those.
