Limeted Slip

Hi I'm going to be buying a Cobalt SS this spring/summer and I'm starting to look now. I don't think i will be able to afford a G85, so my question is where can I find a limited slip to buy. I would like to know how much they are so I can determine if its worth the extra to buy a G85 or just buy the LSD at a later date. Thanks.

It probably be cheaper getting it on the car, plus its warrantied under the dealer and it seems a better deal to me.

g85 is deff worth it. the LSD itself is about $1100. and figure about another $500-600 for install because our tranny's require special tools to take them apart without tearing up the gears

Installation isnt the problem for me. I just can't find a LSD to buy to get a price on what it would be. But if a LSD is a 1000+ then i will def. try to find a G85 thanks.

OBX has one much lower than that, but trust me just get a car that already has it on there. Allot less work and should only add about 8-10 bucks to your payment.

If you did not get the LSD factory and want one later, we carry the Quaife LSD kit, which known to be the same as the factory car comes with.

$495 MSRP factory option.

Almost all of the SS/TC's in the lots have this along with the sunroof - which is a good thing.

The aero wing, performance display, and USB radio aren't as mandatory but are good to have. I think 2009.5 SS/TC has the USB radio as a standard feature - or at least a mandatory $100 "option"

Where have you been looking that you think you can't afford a G85 package?

They usually don't sell for any more than a standard SC.

Yep.

I've seen an ION RL with the same package selling for just under $10K.

Id drive 500 miles to get it if i had to.it would be alot easier to drive and get it than pay some one at least 8 hrs to install one that cost 1100 dollars. Labor would be around 800 dollars. so $ 1900.00 or drive 500 miles id drive plus if you installed it your self you would lose you warrenty.

Why do you want an LSD? Just curious, why not just get the standard model?

Because I am looking to find a car that i can work on and make fast. Im an 18 year old kid who wants a car he can make fast. it has to be GM, my dads a parts manager out our dealership so i can get good prices on products and installs. And i know how much a LSD will help so im seeing if i can find one with it.
