Default Want to know if you have LSD on your IS?

Like what it is, what year IS's have it and what trannies etc. I'll make it a sticky or something. lol I have tried to look for solid answers and no such luck. So if anyone can explain what years came with the LSD, and what trannies etc, I'll give you a cookie.

Besides I think this will be a good topic to sticky so others can find it.

And for those that don't know, LSD = Limited Slip Differential (keeps both rear wheels turning at the same time so you don't get rear end squirlys going around curves.)

argh i can't find the thread now, but i know by looking at the sticker on the driver side door jam, you can see a code to determine if you have lsd

but in general, at least in cali, if your car is a stick, you have lsd (that's up to 04 i believe)

now that u know u have lsd, 1. buy header (+downpipe catless) + intake (even if free warm air aka remove cover at the top of intake box + remove intake resonator wrap hole tight w/ ducktape, 2. install, 3. hit gas at a standing stop, look back for the pair of tire marks
enjoy the lsd

actually with the open differential, on a dry pavement you also get two tire marks

Default lsd on 2005

Just got my 2005 is300 last saturday and right on the sticker it lists l.s.d. as an option. So lsd is still an option on the 2005.

Yipee LSD!!!!!
