I would recommend going with OS Giken. I track the car, take it for drift events and the LSD works incredibly well.

The maintenance boils down to changing the fluid every year or two, depending on mileage and usage. OS Giken plates aren't meant to be maintained.

Gearing is a better topic...depending on if you plan on boosting the car or keeping it stock, you might want to go with a shorter final drive.

For a NA track car to most people run 18in wheels on that would not be wise. For a boosted car with 18's, they go to 3.33's.

Agreed. There are other variations though...I have a street/track car, with 19s, so shorter gearing is very nice. Boosted definitely requires longer gearing, especially on 18s, as you said...
