Thanks!
I'm not too concerned about that negative aspect of the HLSD as the car probably won't see the track too much and I don't expect to be lifting a front wheel on the street or autoxing =). I'm very interested in what HLSD and other VLSD options are there for for the 5 speed, though!
Honestly other than my recent research into the ve swap, I haven't looked at mods for my Sentra in about 10+ years. Then there had been a single run of Quaifes for the fwd sr 5 speed, but they were all but mythical. If there are reasonably priced/accessible options I would likely go that route.
