Default Ford Escort Series 2 LSD

I knoe these items are interchangable into the fiesta boxes and also the IB5 boxes fitted to the later fiesta's, ka's, pumas etc.

What i want to know is are they cabable of coping with engine power of around 200bhp or will they give up??

THe reason i ask is the quiafe lsd is around £540, and there is a ford lsd unit on ebay for alot less!

Any help much appreciated

Dan

as far as im aware its usually the LSD that lets go anyway, you stand a far better chance with the IB5, and thats what CTS use for a stage 1 upgrade.
