S14 Simple Question

[reefmadness]

Hey sorry for the noob thing here. I drive a 95 s14. Couldnt afford coilovers so my mods so far include:
-tokico struts and shocks
-tein lowering springs
-upgraded sway bar endlinks
-front and rear struts
-cold air intake
-lame catback exhaust(previous owners only donation)
-some diamond racind superspuns

ok so my question is: ive been drifting, but just cant keep my drifts for too long. i just bought a spare differential that im thinking about weldind up and installing. (i have a pro that will do it for me, EXPERIENCED). Im just wanting to know, will that give me the edge i need? i really dont wanna worry about power right now, i just want a solid base to learn on. will the welded diff get me where i need to be without me worrying about power right now?

Welded diff or a LSD will definitely help out alot

I always suggest going with LSD first since the transition from welded to LSD is harder/scarier then the versa.

Look into some tie rods and upgraded control arms as well. Read up about alignment settings.

You definitely want a 2-way LSD eventually, but it's a lot more expensive. To start off and learn, a welded diff is fine and you can always swap it back out later (It's just a ton of work and really heavy to work with).

I agree.As for a lsd or welded diff i would go with lsd.If you wanna daily drive the car your gonna be better off with a lsd.You can daily drive it with a welded diff but lsd is a little more safer/reliable.If drifting is something you are gonna stick with a keep doing your best bet is to just go ahead and get the lsd.
