Default UK Classic LSD upgrade - how?

Not thought of transmission upgrade before so coming into this completely cold.

My car is 97 UK spec with just over 300bhp & ftlbs

I am not worried about changing from my standard 5sp for a 6sp box, but I would like some sort of LSD so if I have to have an extra gear so be it.

I wouldn't want to loose top gear cruising though as I do a fair amount of motorway driving.

Any advice much appreciated

Hmmm would you like to elaborate where you would like your new limited slip differential as replacing one thats already on there can confuse the matter

As standard you already have a centre lsd and rear lsd. Front diff is open.

What exactly are you asking?

Didn't realise quite how tranmission was set up so get it now.

What I am asking abotu is really what is the best way to get my car to handle really slippery conditions. I have and use snow tires when suitable, but have still had some moments of wild wheel spin even on a gentle throttle.

I guess the transmission upgrade for mine is the 6 sp DCCD set up. Does this come with lsd at the front too?

( I reailse if I want a bullit proof everything-mobile I ought to get a Toyota Hi-Lux. Huh, anyone know of a Forrester with diff locks? )

Thanks for helping a dim one...
