Anyone know for sure if the Supra comes with one stock or what? And what exactly is it's purpose, to make both wheels spin instead of just one right? Is there an upgrade that works good.

TRD sells a Limited Slip Differential for the Supra. Costs around $800

I thought it came with a LSD, and the TRD LSD was an upgrade? Basacally if you are putting a whole lot of power down through the drivetrain, then you should get the TRD LSD. Is this correct? Or is the OE diff open type?

The TT models come stock with a Torsen gear-sensing LSD. Unlike thwe more conventional clutch or cone types prevalent in drag racing it uses a worm gear assembly to transmit torque from the spinning wheel to the one that isn't.

Very good for road course driving, but the TRD (clutch type LSD) is stronger and most likely superior for drag racing.

What about driving in the snow? Would the TRD diff help? It sounds like the stock LSD would be fine. Although I don't understand the differences that you are talking about. "Torsen vs cone type" is beyond my knowledge.

The difference are in the consruction, and the method each uses to distribute torque between the wheels.

As far as driving in snow is concerned neither LSD will help as much as a good AWD car/truck. And I really doubt either LSD has any advantage over the other in the snow.

Supra + Snow = Not Good

I'm thinking of getting TRD LSD, so would it be good investment?

What about Kaaz..?
