way to thread jack, this thread is about Limited Slip Differentials, not suspension. Plus raceland coils are crap.

LSD? Where did you get that from? Was this moved from some other thread?

As for suspension... Teins are very popular... I'm not sure why. They're not "bad" ... but I'd suggest TRD/H&R/etc before any of the Teins.

I would personally get Htechs or hotchkis springs.
Not as low, but will be more comfortable and it will be easier on your stock struts.

s techs. iv'e had them on my car for 20k now. not a single problem at all. ill be selling mine in two months when i gather up my $ for my progress coilovers. its mostly people that don't actually have them that have negative comments about them. there gonna say blah blah blah about struts goin bad with teins. which is possible with any of the brands that offer lowering springs.

If you want the best handeling from a spring, TRD, H&R, or Eibach(maybe hotchkis) are your best bet. If you want a low spring, S-techs. Coilovers are by far your best bet, but they are quite expensive. Search around a little.
