Default Lsd worth the extra coin??

So im doing my h2b swap soon and im looking for a gsr tranny. I can get one for $600 with lsd or $300 without now my only question is, is it really worth the extra money? Im on a budget but i dont want to skip important steps. It will be a stock h22 with just bolt ons and will be my daily driver. Only will see the drag strip and not very often either. So is it worth it or not?

even with lsd and falken azenis i still manage to spin. i could only imagine what it would be like without the lsd. i would say it is definitely something beneficial to purchase.

Even if you spin, at least with a LSD both tires are "pulling" you

probably one of the best things you could have is a lsd. helps with torque steer and traction issues

i have lsd on falken azenis. gear one and 2 are useless they spin out badly. gear 3,4,5 are nice.

Anyways to the OP, There usually is a big difference between non-lsd b-series trannies and lsd equipped b-series trannies. If you find a good deal on the lsd than go with it but if you can't find a good deal just grab the non-lsd and later on swap in a better lsd unit into it.
