Who's got an LSD, and what kind?

[AcidLotus]

I'm thinking about tearing into the tranny and putting in a lightened flywheel and LSD. Quaife is probably the best, but am wondering what others have and why they chose it. Looking for better snow traction while still being able to corner well.

While I'm in there, may swap some other gears and final drive. What's the optimum combo for fast 0-100 but low RPM 6th gear fuel economy?

i know dayta has one. search for some of his threads. he had high praise for the mod.

DAYTA's the only guy running an LSD that I know of.

R1DC2CL9 also has one... But if you want OEM LSD, get one off a DC2 Type R Tranny or the 06+ Civic Si

Wouldnt it be the DC5-R not the DC2-R....

I got a Civic SI 06+ LSD in my TSX. Cheap and effective for the street.

The (97-01) DC2 Integra Type R LSD also fits... the DC5 JDM Type R will work as well... As far as USDM goes, the Civic Si 06+ will work as well as mention before

I have a DC5-R LSD in my TSX. To be honest, it should have come with one from the factory. My only guess is that they left it out and planned on maybe using on a TSX Type-S or something that never came to fruition.

Regardless, best thing you can do for this car. I could go on and on about why and LSD is good, but I won't unless asked. Both of my cars have OEM LSDS

i've always thought a-spec has LSD...

The USDM market is soo sad. Although our cars are technically Honda, the USDM markter should have giving the Acura's the LSD. How did give the 06+ Civic Si LSD but not the RSX-S? and the RSX-S is suppose to be the 'new' Integra Type R, and if the Type R had LSD... seems to me they got mixed up

Maybe there was something different in Canada, but I don't think so. The a-spec was just spring/shock/wheel and cosmetic stuff really.

When I was looking for a new daily car, I was VERY close to buying a new Si sedan simply because it had a good k-series engine in it, seats that remind me of an ITR, and most importantly, an LSD. However, I like the TSX double-wishbone suspension and decided to go that route and vowed to put an LSD in there. Less than 6 months later, LSD is in. Took awhile, but life does that sometimes. It's the best thing I've done to the car. Before, I was less than thrilled with how it handled. Now, I actually smile when turning.

Well, u see the RSX-S was an equivalent of 201HP Integra Type S, not the 217HP ITR. The ITR came with LSD, but there is no equivalent of it in US.

I also think that the USDM Si should be like the JDM CTR with 222BHP, LSD, and FAR better styling. This new CTR is faster around Tsukuba than DC5 ITR, 350Z, S2000.
