Stock sport package vehicle... so VLSD is included, but not terribly effective.

OEM sway bars as well.

A set of aftermarket sways would be money well spent. It's a night-and-day difference from stock. It may even help with your traction issue. As cheap as they are, I'd try that first. Swapping the diff would be great, but it's a slippery slope of things to do "while you're in there". If you're dropping the pumpkin, maybe you want to do gears. Since it's already out, maybe a set of upgraded diff bushings. If you're opening it up, maybe that sexy finned Nismo diff cover. And so on.

Thank you for discussing my life right now. lol

. I have decided to do the gears, but kitchen counters are coming first. I was able t finally land a nismo diff cover. HUGE thanks to Mike at corner3. I think he was like the first one in the country to get one in about 9 months.
