Default mini spool?

well my posi she ain't what she used to be! lol! guess 98,000 miles will do that! only drive the car about 20-30 miles aweek. so should i go mini spool for better track times or new posi for better road manners? and will the mini spool fit the stock 95 3series carrier?

A mini spool wont get you any better track times than a good working limited slip. They arent much stronger either.

It will give you consistant traction though. Not good if you do a lot of street driving though.

i agree, was just looking at my options. my current posi is hit and miss right now, so anything would be better, lol! last time at the track it would work and not work durning my burnout. explains my crappy 60' times compared to last time i went.
