Limited Slip Diff
I have been looking for a limited slip for my IS350. I hate how only one wheel spins and would like to put a good LSD on the car. Anyone have any ideas which company makes a good one and where i could order one from?
Got a spare $2000? because that's about what they cost... OS Giken makes one I think, and one or two others... all so insanely expensive I've never met anybody who actually bought one.

We have been unable to confirm whether the IS F LSD will fit the IS350 ring gear however. Nobody has stepped up to try it yet. The ID of the ring gear and bolt circle is unknown to be the same, even though everything else is known to be. It seems likely that the IS350 gears would fit the IS F Torsen, but I've cross referenced the part catalogs globally and have been unable to consolidate them to confirm or deny.

Sorry you were still referring to the aftermarket LSD's, I was speaking about the factory IS F LSD.
Most (if not all) aftermarket/upgrade LSD's are just the differential, not the entire assembly (pumpkin), you are correct about that.

The Quaife LSD is a helical, mechanical diff made up of gears and washers setting preload.
The OS Giken LSD contains disks, like clutch disks, the give you more adjustablilty with the desired preload.
