I have coilovers and sway bars on my car, but somehow the car still doesn't feel really planted on the road. Considering the LSD gives you more traction, will it change the road feel at all? Or does it only give you quicker acceleration?

Thanks

I'd imagine there is a plenty of tweaking you can still do to your set up to optimize handling. Tossing in an LSD will throw all your current adjustments out the window.

So with LSD on the car, the traction control will kick in less?

Thanks for the link. That confirms my thoughts that you do have more traction, but once you break it, the back end will slide out easier.

yes it will, but the biggest and best difference once you swap in an LSD is that you know how the car will react everytime. The 335's open diff is terrible in the regard. One time you'll hit a corner and pour on the power and you just spin the inside tire, the next tire you can get both to snap around and surprise you. Bad idea.

yes the open diff is terrible. I was driving in the snow just now. The left rear wheel spun like crazy. But at the same time I was wondering what's gonna happen with the LSD on it since both wheels will be spinning...........I mean it should be a good thing with more traction; but when the traction breaks, like everybody said, the back will slid out and go in circle. I am still confused even I read the review above....
