Upgrade your stock differential with this LSD from TRD. Made only for the TT 6-speed.
We are often ask should you replace your differential with an LSD, and at what power level. There is no "set" power level where your stock differential is known to break. However, it can and does happen.
When your stock diff breaks, if you are accelerating, the results can be devastating. Your Supra will turn INSTANTLY 90 degrees left or right, depending on where it breaks. You will not be able to control this turn, and you will wreck, possibly into other cars or a concrete barrier or oncoming traffic.
We believe any single turbo Supra should have an upgraded LSD, as well as any Supra that drag races or road/track races. It is simply a safety concern that should be eliminated. The stock differential is strong (for stock...) but is no where near as strong as the TRD unit. We have never seen a broken TRD LSD, ever. We have seen several broken Toyota differentials!
Another advantage of upgrading to a TRD LSD is both your rear wheels spin together. This increases your traction and makes it much easier to go in a straight line while accelerating, thus making you quicker and more likely to win a race.
From both a safety and performance point-of-view, we simply can not recommend this upgrade enough. It is very important and should not be overlooked!
Please note you will need 2 bearings, 2 seals, 2 O-rings, and Toyota sealant to properly replace your differential. You can purchase that from us here on this page.
