the other thing is that the 7" LSD's are Torsen LSD's, they're not exactly the best LSD's for drag since they are fragile under heavy launches. They're more suited for cornering, less understeer on entry, that sorta thing, that's why the Miata guys swear by it. If you're using an NA and dragging, definitely go clutch-type LSD, OS-giken, ATS, or go up one inch with the complete drivetrain swap and use the old S4 clutch-type.

S5 is a Torsen.
The s4 has a clutch type .

Just to clear that up, all NA rear's are 7".
