Limited slip, worth it?

A LSD is highly recommended for track use or spirited mountain driving. The OEM VLSD is decent for street use, but quicky overheats and turns to crap on the track.

A LSD is highly recommended for track use or spirited mountain driving. The OEM VLSD is decent for street use, but quicky overheats and turns to crap on the track. And because it is not a clutch style locking LSD, it can't put the power down as cleanly off the corner as something like a Carbonetic Carbon 1.5 LSD or OSG 1.5 way can do.

That said, I would look at upgrading to coilovers, and better brakes before moving to the LSD.
