I highly doubt that is an option from the factory on the LS considering the SS and LS use different transmissions.

Your LS probably will have traction control. Unless you plan on putting some serious power into the car, I don't think you will need LSD.

Dang i was just curious. Also all i really plan on doing if i do it would be getting that 2.2 S/C when its released and maybe exhaust/intake or whatnot. Thanks for the quick response

No problem, I am sure you can find an aftermarket LSD for the LS if it's something you really have your heart set on.

Do you have auto or manual?

I don't know about the manual, but bet it wouldn't be hard to find.

As for the auto, I know two places that make aftermarket LSD's. Phantom Grip, and Engineered Performance. Of course installing them means completely tearing your transmission apart.

You have an open differential, not a limited slip differential

As far as getting an LSD, it goes by transmission, not by model. Check the sites that were previously posted in this thread.

P.S. Traction control isn't available on the 5 speed cars. Only on automatics.
