I had  a limited slip from Calmini in my v6 Vit and it was a proto type ( one of a kind ). It worked well but I broke a tooth on the pinion gear and it started clunking ...I feel that the v6 was too much motor for the small Suzuki ring and pinion turning 31x10.50 BFGs.  I now have a Ford 9" and I dont think the 175 hp v6  can break it. The Ford 9 r/p is twice the size of the Zuk r/p.  It was built by Currie and rated at 600 hp. The weak point is now the tcase u-joint on the  Suzuki drive shaft. The u-joint will be way cheaper and easier to replace than the third member. Plus I now have Ford Explorer rear disk brakes and Lokar universal E brake.  The rear end swap was not cheap but I feel it was inevitable. A ford 9  can be done for a lot less than Currie charges. Just my experience with a locker in the v6 Vit...Gary
