It comes with an LSD yes. But you can buy one for the EP3 at £250 from a JDM civic or around £450 for qualife LSD.
Anyway there are plenty of trade offs I'd rather have the K20 engine over the B18 and the newer car. As I'm sure you know there aren't many low (or even average) mileage DC2's around now.
See its all down to personal preferece i prefer the b18 to the k20 VASTLY as it has a larger vtec range 6-9k rather than 6-8k in the civic and comes on vtec WAAAAAAAAAY stronger than the k series which just seems to make a bit more noise. Dont get me wrong the civic is a good car but just nowhere near as focused as a dc2 is. The point i was making about the civic was that there are more diferences between jdm civics than there are between jdm dc2'2. The jdm civic has the same motor as a dc5 where as the only difference between dc2 motors is the manifold.
