Default is it worth it....honestly

What's up guys or girls whatever's clever.
So I've decided to go with a LS swap and boost Showinmafuckersthatiamaveterenin a 97 civic ex cpe. Now here's the question.
Is the LSD actually worth the money over the stock trans.
I'm gonna be running traction bar full coils and replacing the suspension with new OEM suspension parts. So stance is stout. Should I go LSD trans or keep that "one tire fire"

A limited slip will benefit you in every way. But I have seen some guys with open diffs cut some seriously good 60's. So, really the choice is yours.

Yes. Reliability is ten fold over an open diff (assuming you get a good LSD and not a cheap OBX).

Its a dd so I'm going for reliability. Price really isn't a big issue since I'm saving up to do it all at once. Ugh building a honda is like picking which fast food place you want, to many options

Go with the MFactory, it is the least expensive, strongest, and has the best clearances. After that I would go with the Quaife.
