Is a Front LSD worth it?
So i just bought a 2003 Evo 8 and i found out that they didnt come with Front LSD's. 
So i was wondering if it was worth investing in installing one or not. If so , where can i find one and how much should i expect to pay?
Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't replace it until it either breaks, or unless you're planning on doing competitive road racing.
TRE lists an OEM LSD at $800 + installation.

It's my daily driver. I'm planning on doing as much as i can with a stock turbo and stock internals. I drag race my car every other Saturday and i plan to start autocrossing it once a month. So you guys dont think i need it.
I've heard the Front LSD will reduce understeer, but does it help in drag racing at all?

Part of the reason I moved to a IX was b/c of the front LSD. I autox every now and then and I def feel the difference (stock 03 VIII vs stock IX).
In normal driving I don't feel a difference

I have a RA front LSD in my 2003 and I can tell a big difference in handling and acceleration out of turns with the LSD compared to stock. I think it's a good mod to consider and it makes driving the car more fun.
