I am considering three options.

1. LSD: i have vlsd(stock) but i heard so many good things about LSD
2. stillen front body: since I live in TX, summer heat is outrageous. I do have an oil cooler (25 row), but for aesthetic and functionality wise (preparing for brake cooling kit and FI soon) this is a must item for me.
3. sway bar: I do have KW V3, this may help handling more?

All three has to come eventually, but I can't decide which one should be done first.

What would you suggest?

I say LSD and sway bars out of that list... if you have to pick one, LSD. It definitely makes a huge improvement

I think whiteline sways are the best IMO, and SPOHN really posted some great reviews on the OS Giken LSD and I know he tracks a lot.

If you're not tracking your car, i'd rather get the 4.08 gears instead of a true LSD. For street driving, the VLSD is fine.

He plans to go FI this would not be a good plan as keeping traction would be near impossible!

Stock vlsd is not giving me enough traction, and I bet there will be no traction if I decide to go with FI lol

besides OS giken (i know it is the best one in the market) but they are too pricey.. have to save up for FI.
I've heard good things about quaife and carbonetics from the forum, but I also hear good review of cusco and kaaz LSD.
dilemma,,,dilemma,,,

I imagine the cusco is priced very high (I have looked personally) I have also heard good things about the quaife and carbonetics
