I love it. 1.5 way is easy to drive on the limit and 5.1 gears makes for a noticeable improvement in acceleration.

My question is, do I really need new LSD (and which one)?
Also, where did you get 5.1 FD?

OS Giken makes the best LSDs on the planet.

But you don't NEED one. They very rarely, if ever, need to be rebuilt like other LSDs though. So, that's something to factor in when considering the higher price.

We had our OS Giken LSD reconfigured after about 2 months of extensive testing. It now responds more to our liking. You can't go wrong with either LSD as we have had excellent success with both.

The CSG BRZ runs OS Giken (configured to CSG specifications). @imperious rex uses the Cusco LSD (reconfigured by CSG) in the BRZ and his S2000. All our sponsored drivers run OS Giken or Cusco LSD no matter what.
