The LSD will immediately improve your dorifto skills by 57 points. In fact you may want to consider entering your car into the international drifting stage after the swap.

Don't forget about swapping over the speedo gear from the tranny, otherwise the speedo will be off.

the s4 n/a LSD is pretty good, just don't be abusive on it and it will hold up fine. On my old car I beat the hell out of the LSD (88 GTU) and it finally gave out after two dozen 7000rpm launches.
