Best Posi Unit

What is your guys opinion on the best posi for the stock rear end? Mine has got 80 k on it and it is starting to do a one tire fryer when I try to get the rear end loose around a corner. So I'm planning a rebuild this winter.

I replaced mine with an Eaton Posi. Have had very good luck with it. From what I can remember the Torsen is a better road racing / Autocross Posi, while the Eaton will deliiver better straight line performance.

Eaton hands down. I love them, and they are all I use.

I have heard that the eaton is stronger, which is what I'm looking for. The main thing is that when I do rarely autocross this car, I don't want the rear to unload, but mainly I want the stronger posi. Thanks for the replies.

Eatons are rebuildable too, unlike the stock units. I dont know about the Torsen though.
