No. To be able to fit a rear LSD in the front you must swap an entire third member from the rear into the front. The bolt patterns are the same but the ring gear in the front is only 7 inches in diameter(ie: weaker than the rear.). Also, if you do decide to go that route, then you must devise a method to reduce spring wrap. Another thing: this will only work with a rear '95-'97 third member. In 1998 Kia changed the rear axle spline count from 26 to 28. The front remained a 26 spline.
