You'll lose some of your acceleration but gain a bit more at the top end. So, would be alright if you do mostly motorway driving as your car will cruise at high speed with lower RPM but if you do a lot of B-road blasting it might not be the best option. He'll of a lot easier and cheaper to get than a 4.10:1 LSD though!! ;)
