Opinions: OBX Diff

i'm looking to see if anyone has any opinions of the OBX differentials.

i'm not looking for hearsay. if someone works at a shop and has worked on them, if someone has one (or more) themselves... thats the sort of feedback i'm looking for.

i've heard that they're pretty inexpensive, and are nearly identical devices (design wise) compared to Quaiffe diffs, but the quality is lesser on the OBX diffs.

From what I've read up on the Honda forums (used to own an old Civic), some of the units needed some "work" in order to be perfect (shimming and such). I know you're looking for some expert advice on these and I don't have that. You may want to call around to some shops and see what they'd recommend.
