LSD or Coilovers

I have on the car right now Falken Sports, Tanabe GF210's, Works 24mm adjustable rear sway bar, A modified front sway bar W/poly bushings. The car has a lot of grip. (1.05g on a G-tech for what thats worth) I have now really started to enjoy this car, I have out turned other cars that have coilovers on them. So now I am not sure what to do. Start tuning a new coilover setup or install a LDS unit. Could use help with this one. If the car did not work so well, I would have said Coilovers with out a dought but now I can't do that.

I would say get and LSD if your content with your setup right now. Otherwise, I'm pretty crazy about those Ohlins .

I'd go with the front LSD myself. Are you talking about the Ralliart helical unit? Doesn't that require other modifications to work on the US EVO?

Öhlins would be fantastic, too. They advertise Sport Line and Grp.N rally "shock absorbers" for the EVO on their Website. Why no info about the PCV, Flag-S, or Flag-L series coilovers I've heard about?

The Ohlins sports are the coilovers I was looking at. How did you guys know? Not sure what LSD unit. The Z1's modded Evo 5rs one or the Quaife that shoud be out soon. Thinking the Quaife if its a true drop in. As far as the Ohlin PCV, Flag-S, or Flag-L series coilover ,I think they are the Japan ones.

If you track the car alot I would go with the LSD. If not get a nice set of coilovers like ohlins or HKS. Either way the car will handle better, It'll just look better with coilovers
