This has been my on going delema too... to LSS or not...
there is the above option of over time building up to LSS or better specs, admittly at a higher cost and probably more work, but truely good/sorted dampers should be available after a year or so.
anyways here is the my final decision... NO LSS - mostly i will be on the street, and my track time will not be competitive, just for fun. I am not concerned about the stiffness.. even LSS will probably less stiff then my TVR was, and it never bothered me much. but the LSS increases the limits of adhesion, and makes the under/oversteer transitions closer to eachother. so.. I think i will be better offer spending a good year or so coming to grips with the handling on the more progressive standard set-up. then If i feel that i can handle swaping ends at the limit with ease, i might start to increase them latter.
From what i can gather the standard set-up is fantastic, the LSS tires can be tricky in the wet and cold and of course don't last as long (so its not a good street tire) the benifit is that limits are higher (for track times), but the alternate side of that is that if your not on that limit often - why bother? and if you are at that limit often you best know what your doing... for me, now, I don't have that skill and confidance. I will spend the 2-1/2 grand on track time and training, learning how to drive the standarnd suspension/tires at the limit, that should keep me busy for quite a while...
LSS will be on cars for one of two reasons, faster track times, or ego stroking, if don't need either of those 2 things, you don't need it....
