Default 06 IS350 LSD options?

What are my options for getting a lsd in my 06 IS350? Are there any compatible lsd's like from a 4th gen Supra or any other cars? Is there any wiring or sensors that are gonna hold me back?

Thanks

Your only current option:

http://www.prolex-uk.com/store/produ...roducts_id=683

It's around $2000 US.

It's stupid expensive, but that's all there is.


Just to let ya know now...if you bought this car to mod it for power/performance, you bought the wrong car.

Thanks for the link... And I did buy the car for performance reasons haha I believe that there are and will be plenty of performance gains out there for my goals I have for the car, I did my research.

Thanks again

There's also the OS Giken 1.5 way LSD. Think Design sells it here. Also about $2,000 USD.

you located in San diego?

i don't think anybody here has any of the 2 or 3 LSD's offered for our cars.

I really want an LSD so i can throw my car around easier, but the one that TOMs offers i think throws a traction light code or something? anybody verify that.

props to you if you actually get an LSD on

Any LSD fitting the IS350 will also fit the IS-F and vice versa. The 2010 IS-F comes from the factory with a Torsen spool, so there's an OEM option if you want an OEM Torsen. OS Gikken and Tom's have LSDs fitting both cars.

^^^ so do u think going to a junkyard finding a wrecked IS-F(theres gotta be one out there...) and grabbing it's diff and slapping it in a 350 would be a good idea?

well for now an 08-09 w/o the torsen gears. untill the 2010 is more readily out there and availible
