Pointless, IMO, and worth as much as the car.
Unless you do an awful, awful lot of track work then it's not worth the outlay. There's no way you should ever need an LSD on a road car, even on a RWD car. As others have said, it will munch on puny little 306 driveshafts all day as well as speeding up wear on other suspension components. I've done a driveshaft on mine just hooning too fast around roundabouts on a stage 1...
Put the money elsewhere. Have you considered running a bigger tyre to increase your contact with the road?
Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.

ive driven a couple of cars with lsd on the road, and its an amazing improvement, however its never really going to see the full potentual on the road and add the massively increased maintanence costsd its going to be expensive....
if i had the money id certainly have one, just that currently i would be much wiser putting the money into forged internals

I would put one on mine! But that's only cause its a 2nd car now, even when it was My daily, work mileage is 13 miles a day! If I was doing 12k a year I wouldn't want one
