Morgan and others, can we make a list of all the relevant websites, I might try getting translations from this end of the world too.

I have ordered all three clips to make measurements. Of course, none of the dealerships had them in stock.

Yeah, but can't find a freakin' translator... Looks like it'd have a lot of useful information, too. Okay, everyone - find a Thai person. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Let's hope they have a 6" lift. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I've seen a couple of Sportages on there somewhere that looked like they had 32"-33" tires. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> That'd be nice. So, can someone be so kind and give a short review of where we stand on the front LSD, please...
Looks like we're still trying to find that out.

So, can someone be so kind and give a short review of where we stand on the front LSD, please... Hi Maraguez, From the research and measurements, it looks like the 94+ Miata Torsen T1 or T2, RX7 non-turbo clutch type LSD and the RX7 non-turbo viscous LSD differentials will fit our Sportage with only a possable change of one snap ring clip. The first choice would be the Torsen T1 with 3:1 bias (which I have). The Torsen T2 has ~2:1 or 2.5:1 bias. The clutch type have a fixed amount of bias, not a ratio so would cause more understeer. The Viscous is more speed sensitive rather than torque sensitive so would be the worst choice for slow speed off-roading. Since my Sporty is my daily driver and my wife has been ill, it will probably be a few weeks before I can put the Torsen in.
