As many know there are no options for front lsd's for the gtfour. This is its main drawback. There is a group buy going on for an M Factory front helical LSD. We need 10 minimum to get a buy going. Estimates are $1,000usd for the lsd. That is cheaper than the TRD unit when it was in production, and the only other current option is in the $5,000 range, so this is a deal. BTW: This is cheaper than what a clutch type rear lsd costs for the cars, and about the same as what quaife charges for their units for similar applications.

EDIT: Post here if you are interested, and as I found out more info I will share it in this thread. I think as of now there are three committed. This is currently posted on ctech and alltrac.net. If anyone wants to share it on gt4oc feel welcome to.

I added you to the roster. I will keep you all here updated. I imagine it will take at least a few weeks to rally up enough gtfour owners who are interested and have the funds.

René, Come on over the at.net and add yourself to the list. After you, if we can find one more person who would be able to come up with the funds, I think this will happen.

I went ahead and added Meurz. That puts us at 10. I am sure the more that join this the better the chances of it being made.

No, they are just going to build a front lsd. It has to be built to incorporate the center diff though due to design.
