Default Transmission question, lsd, f/d, ect.

OK, I'm looking for some opinions. I am going to make a purchase very soon and need to fiqure this out. I have a 99 B16A2 engine and trans(same gearing as a ITR trans). My car is a daily driver and I'm looking for autocross and road course performance. Should I?

A. buy a Spoon/96spec ITR trans and put in a Toda flywheel, and Exedy clutch (this way I could sell my trans).

B. keep my B16A2 tranny with 50,000 miles and no grinds. get a Quaife lsd, ATS 4.9 final drive, Toda flywheel, and Exedy clutch.

C. look for a used (legit) 97+ spec ITR trans. and go with JDM final drive, Toda flywheel, and Exedy clutch. (and sell my trans.)

Also is there any advantage to the Integra trans vs. the Civic trans? I know the JDM final drive and LSD will not fit the civic trans, is this because of weaker internals? Thanks.

I would say "b" too!!
Much cheaper and it will be just as good if not better than other option.
