So looking to upgrade the 08 differentail to an lsd type. Found a slavage 11 carrier but they want 2450 for it! I called them and didn't want to move on price.
Now you can get a brand new carrier for lexus for 3525 or I could go os gilken for 2750 plus install. What say you?

AFA factory Torsen vs. OS Giken - the Torsen works just like an open diff as soon as the inside wheel loses traction. AMHIK. The OS Giken never stops applying torque to the wheel with traction. AMHIK. I like the Giken unit WAY better.
If downtime is a problem, I would recommend buying an '08 or '09 unit (they are cheap) and installing the Giken LSD, then swapping units and selling the old unit and the old spool.

From a driver's perspective, I like the clutch way better than the Torsen.
OS Giken's claim to fame is their system has a very long service life, unlike the competitors in this space.
