| hey guys i've been looking for a LSD for my 1990 toyota celica GT. I've done some researches and not a lot of companies manufacture LSD for these year celicas except two or three of them. there's a particular one i think it's pretty good. the TRD LSD since it's made by Toyota itself. for about 1400-1600 it's not too shabby but my real question is which LSD would you guys recommend for a daily driver. a 1.5 LSD or 2.0 LSD? i need tractions on ground when wet, or so on... by the way this car is completely stock and will never see modification either.
thanks! | |

| Your best option will be a 1.5 LSD. Car charcteristics will change massivly when using a 2 way LSD. The handling, when on the brakes, will be much harder to control. This offcourse only at high speeds. If you're not a "racer", then put your money in some suspensionupgrades, and skip the LSD. I wouldn't spent so much money on an LSD though.
Goodluck! | |

| I'd go for the 1.5 LSD, which engine do you have? Have you read the LSD articles in the handling section?
Basically some LSD's for MR2's, gen 7 Celica,s, Corolla Runx and more can be used for the S53/4 trans in our Celicas so there's plenty of choice, just need to swap the bearings over. | |

| Celica_XR9145, I have the 1990 Celica GT 2.2L motor. 3SFE probably. Actually I haven't gotten to the handling section of the forum yet.. but I'll make sure to drop by there and read. I don't think i'll be spending money for LSDs at the dealers.. | |

| You might be surprised, last time i heard, TRD LSD's were fairly cheap but would be one of the last things i'd do. A set of TEIN coilovers would be my first choice.
Also, some gen 6 Celicas (S54 trans) have factory LSD's and can replace the standard S53 in your celica, fairly rare but they are about, could be a cheaper option. | |
