Yes I changed to an 1.5/2.0 way M Factory LSD. Set up as a 1.5way 100% engagement with the steeped ramp.

The Speedometer reads the same as it did before, or at least I didn't notice anything different.

1st gear is still useable it is very short though. It makes hill starts really easy. I think it maxes out around 40kph. As short as it is I don't know anyone who cruises in 1st gear anyway so it's not a fair statement to say the taller gear makes it unusable.

There is along noise at cruising from 80-90kph but I believe this is more from the AL driveshaft and the fact that I have solid subframe bushings. There is also noise at low speed turning from the rear diff. It sounds like a racket sometimes. It doesn't bother me because I know what it is.

Overall feelings I would do it again for sure. I did the hearing before I did the 60R catback. On the highway now I could do without the exhaust noise. That being said I would change the exhaust and not the gearing. On the track the 5.29 performs close to the same as a supercharged car but without the reliability concerns.
