2.0T Limited Slip Differential

[budzique]

Hello friends, if I happened to source an LSD from a 2018 Stinger 2.0t (from the UK who has LSD standard across all trims) how hard do you think it would be to install? I have a buddy who lives in london who is willing to have it shipped to him from a wrecker and re-ship it to the US for me, but it's quite the investment with all the shipping costs for such a heavy item, I've done the research, and everything (final drive, bolt patterns, mounting points) is the same so would this just be an easy swap in?

Did you ever end up trying to install the LSD? I have an AWD GT limited from Canada and was interested in upgrading to the LSD.

Why do you need an LSD? On some road surfaces I have roasted the rear tires in my 2.0 RWD. Thinking UHP all season or max performance summer tires will be a fix.

The Canada stingers come with pilot sport 4s (or 4). The performance tires are def worth it as when I got the winters on its not as fun. As for the LSD, I'm more curious on whether someone actually did it and if it was easy or a nightmare. I'd only upgrade it if the people that upgraded noticed a big difference.

Things like less braking from the AWD, and more grip on unstable ground, and turns.
