I drove my new bone stock 1990 240sx for the 1st time at my very 1st autocross last weekend and had a blast. Actually took top 3 in my class!

2 things I now feel I would gain from upgrading is coilovers and an LSD. As luck would have it I already have those parts laying around.

The downside is that the JDM spare diff I have has a KAAZ 2-way in it. I did my research and a lot of people say go with a 1.5-way, 2-way is just for drifting, etc. But some of them who actually ran a 2-way in grip situation actually don't mind it, some love it and say you can fairly easily drive around the downsides.

Now, what I have is a 2-way, that's just the way it is and I don't want to go trough the trouble of selling it and trying to find a 1.5 way and possibly have to install in in a pumpkin.

So I'd like some more feedback of people who are actually rocking a 2-way diff in a grip context, how you like it and how you drive around its possible shortcomings.

Thanks!
