Ok so my Next mods are: LSD, Coilovers, Sway Bars, Short Shifter, Clutch and Flywheel, and pullies,
Ok now for the questions...I see alot of people using Peliquin LSD's, is that the only LSD that of good quality over here on the Euro side? As for coilovers...I was going to go with Tein just for the fact i have them on my Silvia and i ove them so i was going to do that again on my GLi but then i'm seeing people rocking "KW"....Tein comes with the EDFC but i haven't seen anybody running them...so why is KW so good? Sway Bars...i'm really confused on what size to go in the front and back...hook me up with some advice. B&M Short shifter or do you know something better? Clutch and Flywheel...i was going to go with a spec set up with a 7lb Flywheel...but what; y'all opinions on that? And i just need out right opinions on pullies! Thanks!

for LSDs theirs QUAIFE AND PELIQUIN...their the same exact thing! so its up to u how much u wanna pay....
for COILOVERS what are you trying to accomplish? track use(like heavy track use)? or just want somthin to go low on? tien is cool, cuz they have that program that u can adjust everything from inside the car. but thats just extra $$ for the lazy and eye candy. KW is good cuz they come in 3 stages...but only stage 2/3 are the good ones cuz thats when u can control the dampning and rebound. koni's are on par with KW stg 2's. personally id go with KONI COILS or H&R.
for SWAY BARS dont worry about a front. cuz then u got over steer. just get a rear one but i dont know the sizes. i think 82mm is the good one.
for SHORTSHIFTERS what do u wanna reduce? side to side movement or up and down? b&M is what i have and all it does is shorten the up/down motion. the EIP,NUESPEED, etc... all reduce the side/side action. and those u replace the stock one in the engine bay, the b&m shifter u gott drop your exhuast(i tried doing mine wihtout it and its impossible and i have small hands) if u need help i can help u since i just did mine last week.
if u have a 1.8t get the ECS stg 1 kit. its like 300$ comes with an upgrded vr6 clutch and like a 14lbs flywheel. but thats only if u dont go ludicrous speed with a BT. i had the that kit but opted for a 10lbs flywheel and it chattered!! i u listen to my video u can hear it as soon as the car turns on...

lighter is funner! but the lighter u go the more inertia you'll lose from trying to roll from a stop...
for pullies...get the ECS ones...you might gain a few ponies(none really htat noticable) but you'll def notice you can rev better

EDFC is not compatible with your the MKIV. Tein dampening is absolute garbage...coming from a guy who had an S14 on Tein HEs....KWs are a million times better.

bolded the fail in ur post
bigger front sway bars increase understeer not oversteer and since our cars already indersteer quite a bit thats y u should only upgrade the rear bar
and its not 82mm (r u kidding me ted look at how big that is on a ruler) 28mm which is a good/common size ppl go with i believe the biggest bar offered for the MK4 is 32mm

fail? not really.... like i said "i think" and "i dont know the sizes" which means i wasnt sure on it. lol and the over/understeer well i just got it backwards. not a big deal but thanks for clearing it up

Don't post if you don't know.
LSD - whatever is cheaper.
Sway - rear only. Look up the Shine rear sway.
Shifter - Dieselgeek is a good option, as well.
Suspension - I have Bilstein PSS9's. I like them. I've never had anything else on this car, though.
Clutch - depends on your power level. Like others said, don't go lower than 14lb.
Pullies - save your money. They've been proven worthless.

shine swaybar FTMFW they're lighter and stiffer then anything else out there
and i thought the crank pulley was the only one worth while since it will speed up engine revs
