Default LSD--(not the Drug)

Many of our Club Lexus members have acquired and install Limited Slip Differential (LSD) to their car. Please rate your satisfaction with this product.

Hey! That's one of my other "toys" currently being installed! I'll let you know once I get a chance to beat on the car.

I love it, helps in the turns when coming out of them and flooring it. I notice the traction control light on less now when going over uneven road and accelerating since power is at both wheels. I am looking forward to the snow this winter to see the results of the LSD, which should be great. The car should have come with one in the first place or be an option as it is on the IS. Oh well, best of luck on deciding to get it, but I am sure everyone who has it will give you positive feedback on it. FYI, I have the TRD LSD.

I got it from Steve Ganz for $850, but the price went up I think. I didn't have the dealer install it, I went to a shop and had them install it for me. They did a good job although it was expensive, but with these cars you have to pay to play.

Most shops charge 6 hours of labor for the installation. I had mine installed for $400.
