i searched, but cant find what im looking for. I have an 89 240 5sp, and of course, it does the one tire fire thing, and so when i go to do doughnuts? its kinda hard to wip it around cause only the one tire is going. and when its wet, my front end tends to push around cause the back end wont shoot around. So with an lsd, will this make me able to do stuff like that better.

Yes, but your front end will still push a.k.a "understeer". I put some kyb agx shocks and tein s springs on mine with an s13 lsd. Understeer is pretty much gone and it rotates much better now. BTW I wish I would have gone with the Tein H springs because the S spings are too low.

Yea, thats the only drawback about the S13, it does under compared to a 14 :(

too low refering to ground clearance issues or too camber from going so low? If clearance, why kinda things are you having issues with? Do you have any pictures?

I got sportlines an there not nearly enough drop, if you wanna correct understeer problems you can stiffen up the rear with a strut an sway bar, lower sidewall tires an higher psi. Also if i start understeering just clutch kick it, youll swing around haha.

Mayby not too low but I want higher spring rates. Sometimes when my bald front tires manage to grip in a very hard turn the wheel rubs the fender liner. This is with the front struts set at 2 though. I guess I can turn it up to 4 and see what happens. I dont understeer anymore though and with some practice you can overcome it like Silent Drifter said. Sorry no pics.
