I actually just had the LSD vs coilovers Dilemma like a week ago. The spring rates and the feel of my car in corners drives me absolutely insane. It feels like a boat, and far too dramatic under weight transfer. It's way way WAY too soft for my liking. The open diff. (My car is a base) drives me crazy as well, however I decided to first order a set of custom coilovers and SPL camber arms BEFORE the LSD to get a better feel of the car before I dive into a LSD. A LSD will more than likely give you instant speed and dramatic time cuts, but if you are going with coilovers down the road, you may have to re-learn how to drive the car once the coilovers and alignment are done. If you do coils and stuff FIRST, the learning curve could be less and easier once the LSD is installed because you'll have already done most of your tuning already. I hope this makes as much sense as it does in my head lol. Its all personal preference at the end of the day. They'll both be in the car at some point
If my car was base model I'd most likely would do the same thing. Since its a Nismo, the suspension is pretty stiff as is, plus I am putting down over 500 whp
so LSD should help to put the power down a lot more efficient. I set the sways at stiffest in the front and softest at the back. I have autocross in 2 weeks so well see how it performs. I also ordered the OS GIKEN a week ago so hoping it'll get delivered in time for that event as well.
