I may be wrong but I dont think any of us so far have purchased a Jdm engine? If anyone has they will probably also find the gearing crap in 5th and 6th as this is much lower in the Jdm

Rich said the opposite - it's more stable, which I found very very odd!
Having driven open diff, and lsd equipped RWD cars, the open diff cars start to wheelspin earlier (but only spinning the unweighted wheel), while the lsd equipped cars keep gripping for longer, but when they go, they whole back end goes as one, and things happen much faster.
The JDM lsd is meant to be a bit aggressive, which further adds to its ability to make driving on the limit pretty hard to balance.
Curiously an ATB diff on a FWD car is a god-send however, as it reduces understeer, and makes anything with an ounce of poke far faster and more stable leaving corners.
