Question Boosted L15 without an LSD.

Does anyone else here have their wheels slip out a fair bit when just "daily driving" around? I'm afraid that by boosting our fits without a proper LSD available, a lot of the added power is going to be lost to wheel spin.

Anyone with a boosted fit or an LSD want to speak up on this issue?

I have the same problem off the line and I have a AUTOMATIC.My tire's loose grip easier then any car I've owned before.I'm planning on up- grading tire's soon,but I don't think that will solve the problem.All I will say is if your going to boost,you better have a light-foot off the line.

Because you have your car lowered and better tire's,you don't have the same problem as if your car was stock and you were running booosted.

It's still ok on dry pavement but I can feel that I'm not getting much power delivered to the outter wheel when I'm on throttle around the corner until I pull my car straight.

Wet & snow covered pavement is just horrrrrrrrrrrible

A good set of tires should handle this.
I only lose traction when i want to

but an lsd would be a nice addition to the Fit's suspension

That's because the stockers suck! Once you get new tires your gonna be like "omgwtfbbq stock is teh sux0orz". The difference is like night and day, trust me... although an LSD WOULD be nice...
