That's the issue, finding one (I mentioned that). Only newer F-Sport IS's have them, and newer F-Sport GS350/GSF. Hard to find one

Ah okay, you made it sound like a mechanical fit issue lol! I found one for $800 and redid the seals and checked it over, it really improves the feel of a rear driver in corners and adds nice rotation.

Since I have an 07 I have ability to fully defeat TC/VSC and can hit the gas and brakes at the same time as well. None of the newer ones can do those things

Yeah, sorry I guess I explained it wrong. Mine came with the e-LSD, which was actually using traction control to emulate an LSD. I decided to back out of putting in a mechanical LSD due to not being able to find one that was already built. My only option was buying one and reusing the current differential housing. The time and costs were just too much to justify

I agree with you on that, to add the system to a non-LSD housing is a massive pain to do even if you know how/have the tools and everything....I just swapped a whole diff!
