LSD's are suppose to be the best.

Gary Ballard (aka GB Vette) has them, not sure if he became a dealer or not.

Also check with cajundude as he has the LSD's too.

Do a search on lambo doors. You'll find that the majority lean towards the lsd kit.

Call Gulf Coast Performance and ask for Jason, he has the LSD's on his car and can probably lead you the right way.
