I think John is looking for an LSD manufacturer, not just someone to rebuild them...
I think it is a big mistake to have an LSD option in the boxster spec class, the cars are pretty early in their development and are already laying down some good laptimes in the POC. As more drivers join the class and people spend more time tuning their cars they will get even faster (look at the 944's). Adding the LSD is just going to make it cost everyone a few grand more to be competitive, there is no doubt that the LSD will be a must have item if you want to run up front. This isn't just a bolt on mod anyone can do in their garage so make sure you factor in the cost of the install and setting the ring and pinion. If no one has an LSD then everyone is on an even playing field, isn't that one of the goals of the class - lower cost, equal racecars?
