About to pull the trigger on a wavetrac! Had a few ?'s

I'm about to order a wavetrac LSD.
Wanted to know from people that have it or LSD installed on their e9x. Is the defiv lockdown kit worth it/needed?

Yes...I have a Wavetrac and pre Lockdown Kit I busted a half shaft and had wheelhop. My wheelhop is gone now. Since the Diff will be out, the labor will be a lot less to simultaneously install the Lockdown kit.

Does it affect the ride comfort at all?
Any added vibration?

If you have the power yes....eliminated all my wheel hop and helps launch the car.
