Default is dccd-a really worth it

I'm in the process of looking to buy either a el or gl jdm sti - is the dccd-a really worth having for general use???

Thanks

Do you by a Sube for non-general use?

In short it helps with handling as much on road as anywhere, probably more coz it kills a lot of the understeer. The car is more "pointy" and generally more chuckable. It will murder a non-DCCD-A car in serious B road driving given drivers of identical ability.

Dare I say, that at re-sale time, a non-DCCD-A JDM would be much less desireable than a full house car (which could be rather bad for your wallet).

IMHO, there is no real "option", the tricky diff is the one to have

If your typical drive is to and from work Pippyrips, you ain't gonna notice the difference!

exactly, your everyday drive you will never notice it or even use it, the jdm car is not the same setup as the uk one anyway, there is very little if any understeer, the car holds it own in any situation, very unlike a uk car.

Unless you are pushing the car to its limits, driving on a track or doing some serious racing on broads, then its just as good as it is
