Default Which stock LSD to get?

I'm rockin' a 5speed 92 sc300. I need a decent budget LSD. Will the LSD from a 1995 NA supra 5speed be perfect for my application? I'm only doing light autoX, some roadrace and occasional drift events. If this wont' suffice, what should I get instead?

and for referemce, here's my car on TEIN Flex. 30 off the top in the front and rear. 1 finger gap. Going to throw on TT wheels with 225/s in the rear for better traction breakage.

I'm fairly new to the Toyota/Lexus scene, but I believe that any car that was offered with the Toyota W58 transmission did not include LSD. This would include the Supra 5MT.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

you are wrong. Some NA Supra 5 speeds included LSDs. I'm planning to have a Supra TT auto LSD unit installed in my sc300 .

Sorry then folks.

Is it the same ratio (4.083:1) as in the SC3?

A very low amount of W58 Supras came with LSD........ I'd say it would be tough to find the rear-end from one of those particular cars. You're better off looking for a TT Auto rear-end.

Unfortunately yes they are hard to come by I've got my Hyper Rev in front of me, and the final gear ratios they've given me are:
* 2.393 (3.180)
* 3.916 (4.083)

^ The ratios in brackets are for manual models (R154), unfortunately I can't read Japanese so I can't tell you which ratio is which (LSD or not).

From what I just read its not done yet. Boooooo. And its going to modeled after a phantom grip, which is far from a decent 1.5, 2 way lsd.
