I think we've seen those prices before in the other LSD thread. What is unique about your offering?

Pushing 500HP/TQ at the wheels transforms this car into an unbelievable machine.. but if all everyone is looking for is 1/4 mile times, I don't think they're going to be satisfied. Just my $0.02

Well I have done some research and this is what I have come up with.
The 08-09 differential is a FD21A. This differential has a conical spring that applies pressure to the sliding area of the side gear to help engage both wheels at once.
The 2010 has the FD21AT which is a torsen limited slip. From what I can tell that differential should bolt directly into the 08-09, either as the carrier internally or as the whole assembly.
The carrier it self is lists for $3,932.63
The entire differential assembly lists for 4,313.07
What do you guys think is it worth it to you as the customer for me to look into getting them?

Would there be any undue issues with such a swap? (besides slightly worse gas mileage?)

We do need a set of rear end gears!!! If we could get a 373 or a little lower our cars would be great down low but would fall off up top. You might need to use all 8 gears to hit 170

It was a direct fit and basically helps out of the hole shot, but RPMs are raised at the higher crusing speeds. So MPG's would suffer as well...

The IS-F case is identical to the IS350 case. If you wanted to swap spools, there's nothing in the documentation saying it definitely won't work. It would probably be possible to swap ratios too if you wanted, but that's significantly more work and definitely not for the junior tuner.
