I'm 99% sure that any LSD you buy for the manual transmission will be more expensive and a bit more involved to install. This is because the diff for the manual is welded and not bolted like the auto. For example, the OS Giken auto unit is about $1900, while the manual unit is about $2200 (this is just at one online store that I happened to look at. I'm sure prices differ). I think any diff. you get will have a similar install as the Quaife. For road use, a gear-type LSD is fine.. but...I remember hearing that clutch type LSDs are better for drifting. Though, being honest, I'm not really sure why it would be preferable for drifting over a gear-type.
