Default LSD for Focus?

Is there a LSD for the manual LS focus?

I don't see why not, but I haven't seen any around.

You could use the phantom grip LSD kit, but they are known of blowing the gearbox casing.

I've often thought this myself. Though LSD and FWD aren't the best things to mix, unless you like lauching in straight lines a lot.

There isn't one from the factory, but i think the Mazdaspeed 6speed box could have it? Otherwise what extremist said

If that's the case, you have the choice of the Quaife, or the Torsen
