You're unlikely to find an FC driver with an aftermarket LSD...most of us don't hit the track too often (more autocrossers) and the $1,000.00 is better spent somewhere else on the car. I'll have a cusco eventually but I am a distibutor and get a nice $ on them.

surprisingly, cusco has everything for this car in STOCK!! my car should go in for the full TII swap in a couple of weeks then it will go back for paint after the motor is broken in. I'll order the cusco LSD and their cage at the same time and make them the winter projects.

I am seriously contemplating getting the KAAZ
http://www.rx7store.net/product.asp?0=207&1=298&3=240
basically i have no problem with the stock s4 TII LSD but currently mine is very bad shape, whines like crazy cruzing at 40mph, and doesn't lock up like it used to, I used the correct additives and everything with no luck.
From what I understand unless you have rebuild a LSD before first timers should not attempt this unless they have a spare differntial lying around....
BTW how much does a new S4 TII LSD go for?

what would you need to drop a stock lsd from a sport package?? You need the crossmember and what else.

OK, in a junkyard near my house there's a GXL, it use to be leather interior and it still has the 4 piston calipers and 5 lug hubs. Does this car have an LSD, it had power everything, power steering and it use to have an a/c compressor. Does it come with an LSD?

I have a 86 GXL with 3.9 LSD. I'm doing a 5spd swap and I have a 4.1 diff too. I'm not sure if I want to keep the 3.9 cause its LSD, or go with the gear ratio that will give slightly better acceleration. Hmm, sounds like a poll good topic.

Most aftermarket LSD's will make a fair amount of noise at low speeds...diff additive can work well to quiet them down but some noise is to be expected. The phantom grip works reasonably well...

While I'm posting in here. Are aftermarket LSDs universal? I have a GXL with the LSD going out and I'm considering that Kaaz one the RX7store has. will it fit?

as far as I understand they can make it harder to turn and cause loss of grip
