Adding an LSD to the base model worth it?
 

I'm looking at picking up a used, base 370z. The price is really good, but the car is lacking the sport package. The Rays wheels can be picked up cheap used and the brakes aren't really that big of a deal to me; I'll just toss on some Hawk pads and go from there. Plus, I can heel-n-toe just fine, so SRM isn't much worth anything to me. The only reason I want the SP is because of the LSD.

I realized that the factory LSD is lacking, being that it is a viscous unit. So, I'm wondering: is it worth it to just pick up a base model and buy an aftermarket LSD, especially considering my notes above? It seems like a reasonable thing to do. Are there any aftermarket units available yet?

an aftermarket LSD is better than stock but you can pick up a used Z with the sport package for what i payed for my base model you also have the warranty issue if it goes out

OS Giken Super Lock! :D

^^^ good points

Is it worth it monetarily to pick up a base for about $25k and put an LSD in it, or should I just wait for a SP model to come available?

Coming with someone who owns just the base.... WAIT

Maybe you're right, I can't seem to find an LSD for under $1000.

And you wont, $1200 is about the average for a good one, and btw, Carbonetic makes the best :)

just buy mine for 400bucks
