LSD on a 2.3S

I'm a newbie when it comes to the technical aspects of car stuff so forgive me if this is a stupid question. Is it possible to put an LSD on my 2.3? If so, will the one in a MS3 work?

Yes it is possible... I have one. No the MS3 one will not work. Quaife works but it's a pretty penny!

thanks for the response xenon929. How has the part been working for you? Did you have to make other mods in order to get the LSD to work properly?

Limited Slip Differential.

Helps you put power to the ground, rather than burning your wheels. Also good for getting rid of wheel hop on corners and uneven surfaces.

Oh, and welcome to the forum.

You'll have to grind down some bolts but that's about it... If you find a reputable shop they should do it with ease. It's worked great. But like I said it's expensive. ($1,500)! plus labor! Click on "killer3"next to the pic on my signature and you can see the list of mods I have. No expense spared.
