If you are going to put this thing on the track, the brakes are worth getting the Sport package. The rev match is pretty nice also, it actually does a good job if you aren't very adept at heel/toe downshifting.

Agreed. I'd actually get a Nismo for the extra rigidity.

The better brakes & wheels are worth the exta $$ for the Sport & you get a LSD that will work until your able to upgrade. The heavier oil will help absorb the heat for a while, but once that VLSD heats up it gets weak fast.

I have the Quiafe & it's good for me, but if I was still looking for a LSD, I would look hard at the Wavetrac. There is a group buy going on here.

Thank you all for the good advice. I didn't think too much about the wheels because I'll have separate wheels and tires for track, but I forgot about the brakes. They're worth it I'm sure.
