Is this eBay item Bogus?

Somebody more knowledgeable about these things should check this out.

The seller's user ID is "forjunny" and it looks like this part may be a scam. It's auction description has all the hallmarks of one: too much elaboration, too much hype, not enough technical explication.

Let's slam dunk this asshole if he thinks he can convince us that this is an "easy" LSD conversion.

I personally would want to find out that this item is not all it's hyped to be after removing, disassembling and re-installing a rear end (not fun).

This part looks to good to be true.

From what I've read about the Phantom Grip LSD's, they do work, not as good as a factory LSD, but not completely useless. They don't seem to last as well as they claim though.

For 300 bucks, it might be OK for a street car, but if you were to autoX the car much, you'd probably end up replacing it sooner than you'd like. For some people, they'd rather spend half as much for one of these than to buy a good LSD in the first place.

I was just reading a thread on one of the racing forums about them, and one guy who used it in his FWD race car said it worked fairly well for a while, but without warning it just quit. I guess if you wanted a "disposable" LSD, this is it.....
