depends how and where you drive.
on track then get one in, on the road then stick to atb IMO.
i was going to get a gripper in the mtx, but settled on the atb after hearing from a pal test driving a kazz one in an mtx75 and was torque steering all over the place pulling his arms out the sockets lol!

I assume the gripper diffs make the car torque steer because they lock and the atb dosent.

steveboyslim on here can normally get good prices on gripper and quaiffe items, might be worth dropping him a PM.
Thats who I tend to buy diffs through.

Mate had one in his 106 xsi/gti, pretty much standard engine, ran there straight cut CWP too, tore the teeth of the crownwheel, but to be fair, they customer service was pretty good and they rebuilt it foc.

I have one on my Clio and my Westy.

Its a noisy clunky rattly thing at parking speeds on the Clio, but is great on track.

In Westy, its fine everywhere. Great on track. BUT I did break the CWP recently, but thats a standard ford part not Gripper made.
