Why is this in suspension? An LSD is a transmission part, not a suspension part.

I know it helps with handling, yes but that's not all it's good for you know.

No one has found out yet if the LSD from the Integra DC5R fits the K20A2 or A3 or 24Awhatever. At least not that I know of.

The LSD from the ITR isn't bad at all, but yeah it is better if you actually plan to make good use of it.

I was told by someone that LSDs make it harder to steer the car a while back.

It does. It forces the tire that doesn't want to spin, to spin. So when it does the car wants to go straighter but you won't let it. I know a guy with a Quaife in his Maxima, he Autocrosses, and it's an absolute biznatch to fight it.
You gotta re-learn how to drive corners with the LSD so you know how it's gonna react.

LSD's supposed to limit slip, not increase it (hence limited slip differential) So your wheels should be spinning less and gripping more.

...but that's all irrelevant because our cars don't need one. There's simply not enough power to warrant one. On a torquey powerful car like a Maxima it'd help. But you gotta work at making our cars spin the front wheels. Get more power, then worry about a LSD
