Technically speaking, you already have a Limited Slip Differential from the factory. Unless you plan on slicks and hard 5000+ rpm launches all the time, you would be fine with the stock LSD, simply upgraded with the carbon clutch discs from the cobra rears. I have them in mine. The installer shouldn't charge much more for labor to do this. A wise choice would be to replace all the bearings back there while you have it open. That's what i did. I spent like 600$ for parts and labor on gears, bearing kit, carbon clutch discs, and full length subframe connectors. The shop supplied the parts, gave me a killer deal for getting everything through them. I think I did alright considering I would have spent that much just in parts elsewhere.


If you do decide you NEED to get an upgraded differential, get a Torsen T2-R, you will NOT regret it.

Wow I didn't realize the stock LSD in this car was so stout. I don't think I will need an upgrade anytime soon. My car has around 15k miles but I decided to go ahead and get the install kit and the rebuild kit from American muscle . Thanks for the input.
