I can confirm this install video is pretty much identical with the process of installating it on IS250s. Only difference is that the crown gear bolts has retainers on the 250. You just hammer those down with a hammer & a pin punch. Then bend them back when you are done with the conversion kit install. Draw a line on the crown gear and above so you remember how it lines up (just in case it matters). No difference at all in comfort vs stock! Not yet drifted mine as I'm bedding in my new clutch & flywheel. But the car is riding smooth as butter, no annoying diff clunk or judder. Installation of the kit is easy with this video. The hard part is getting the axles out of the diff. I wrapped a nylon tow strap around the axles and yanked hard to pop them out. Any other method was impossible for me, a real pain. I guess it could work with a slide hammer + a cv axle removal claw screwed onto the slide hammer. The axles are held in by c-clips on the is250 and must go out completely straight. To ge the axles in you have to put grease under the c-clips so that they are centered when pushing the axles into the diff. To get them in i used a large flathead screwdriver and put it into the groove on the diff end of the axle. Then hammered with a medium sized sledgehammer onto the screwdriver. Buy new axle seals just in case, easy to damage them when taking the axles out. I recommend buying an axle seal puller to make it a lot easier getting those out. I used a BGS 117 from Amazon, worked very well. You also need a 12 mm hex bit, a 12mm 12-point box wrench and an extender for it to be able to get the rear three 12mm hex bolts off. They sit in a very tight space.
Have there been tests on it yet? Because it looks like a good alternative to the torsen diff which is getting very expensive and rare. I might give it a try.
We tested it on many different cars. And I can say that Lexus conversion is the best as the factory diff allows plates to be very large. Check our Customer's content list for testimonials. ua-cam.com/play/PLmw-XXlNglif7Z7UPtf2wKvdXHnIDPz8_.html
I would like to see more Mercedes applications also. I have both BMW and Mercedes cars, but RacingDiffs seem to prefer BMW's more. I did get a kit for my Merc, but it didn't fit perfectly without one simple modification. If they had more info about Mercedes cars, they could easily make more Mercedes kits as well.
Hello I’m very interested about the kit, love the thought! But I have questions I have a Lexus is200 for my daylie and at the same time to drive hard and sometimes doing drift in the rain can it support drifts?
Hi, will this work on an automatic 2nd gen IS250? I saw in a different comment that it was designed for the manual diff, but afaik both use the same diff just with different ratios. Thanks
Pozdrav ljudi Prvo srecna nova godina :) Ja imam is250 i vidim da imate kit a nisam nikad čuo za to... El to full lock kao zavareni different ili? Da li je 1 way. 1.5 ili 2 i da li može ic više od 25% lock? Hvala puno

Hi please help me.. can you confirm..that on a normal drive around a twisti road it works like a normal differencial..and only when i lose grip it turns into a lsd transmision? I want to buy one for my mercedes..but it's 300euro..i don't want to trow the money away for nothing.. i drive 99% of the time..normal..but 1% i like to drift my car..specially on a raini day or snow.. that's why i was asking..does it drives like a normal car and only when i drift it turns into LSD? Thank you
Would you be able to forward the critical dimensions? I can forward you what you need to know of the rav4 differentials. The oem ones are hard to come by and are sought after
It is designed to fit IS300. Customers managed to install it in IS250, but we are going to change the fitment list then. Thank you for the feedback on that.
@@RacingDiffs Did you manage to get it on a car to show how well it works? If you do so I believe you will sell a lot. I will be the first to buy one 😅

Hi can you please do video on lexus gs 300 thank you
Ordering a diff now.
Hi. Whats the torquespec 4:47? The four screw which hold the bearing. Also 75NM? Cheers
Those can be tightened 100Nm without a problem.

This is exactly what you're looking for. Perfect for daily usage and occasional track warriors.
Hi, what lubricant do you use at 2:55?
Motul Gear Competition 75w140
1st time hearing about this. Will it work for the 7.5" altezza diff?
I'm assuming this will work on the 2001 GS300 also.
Yes it should 👍🏻
@@RacingDiffs Thank you I will get my order in Tuesday when I get paid.
does it work on any vehicle?
Wrong, I installed this, you need to put the spindle first then release the springs
Does the car drive normal when you corner at low speeds? And turns into lsd when one wheel looses grip? I want to buy this for my Mercedes.thank you.
When can we see the testing of this?
Here is the test video.

Will there be a set for Lexus GS300/430?
Yes, it will. Hopefully, this year.

Hi, will this work on an automatic 2nd gen IS250? I saw in a different comment that it was designed for the manual diff, but afaik both use the same diff just with different ratios. Thanks
It would be best to check with some Lexus specialists. And please let us know the info if you find out👍🏻
It Fits but for me it doesnt lock as much as i want
Will this work on 2008 3.769 Lexus Differential?

Does it drive like lsd or welded diff
It feels like LSD. With this kit, we wanted to avoid welding the diff.
Do you have one for the lexus SC300?
It will be available in a month. Follow us on social media for updates.
Do you have one for an is220d? And how much?
Will this work on a u.s. Lexus sc300
We don't have such knowledge. This would be a question to some Lexus experts. Sorry for not being of help.
Does it also fit with the 3.9 gearing diff from de automatic differential?
Yes.

What’s the longevity like on these, looking to add one to the daily but have any been tested with high mile on them?

@afzali4850 you can send following dimensions to production@racingdiffs.com:

We have this model under development. Will be available soon. Follow us on social media for announcements.
How much is it for the lsd for Lexus is200
Currently 20% OFF so you can get it for 207eur.
@@RacingDiffs so with this u can convert a open diff to a LSD ? Do u deliver to Ireland Thanks
Yes and yes :)
@@michaelgallagher6572 did you order one of these kits ??
@@nateryan7041 Nope I did not I bought a Lexus with a LSD in it already 👍
Does this not work on 1st gen is300?
The website says so (xe10) but under the same heading it says is250. Which is completely different to xe10 is300.
It is designed to fit IS300. Customers managed to install it in IS250, but we are going to change the fitment list then. Thank you for the feedback on that.
@@RacingDiffs thanks for the feedback, it's good to know!
How's the 98-05 gs300 diff coming?
It should be ready for Christmas sale🙂
I see that you have a LSD kit for Lexus IS250. However is it for the automatic or manual transmission IS250? They have different diffs. Thank's
Hi, we built it for manual.
@@RacingDiffs Thank's for your answer! I got a manual version, so this is very interesting for me then 😁
@@RacingDiffs Got one last question. Does the IS250 conversion require any grinding/machining of the gears? 😊
No, it doesn't. 👍🏻
@@RacingDiffs Awesome, thank's for you quick answers! Just put in an order 😃
Please get a video of the kit working
We will get a car for promotion soon.
@@RacingDiffs Did you manage to get it on a car to show how well it works? If you do so I believe you will sell a lot. I will be the first to buy one 😅
Currently working on BMW M2 which we bought recently to develop diff. We can continue after we finish that. Btw, this is the best selling set of 2022.
@@RacingDiffs Great, any customer reviews/feedback/videos you can share?
We'll put on Instagram stories.
Can you do this to 09 ISF?
Thanks
I thought ISF had factory LSD?
08 & 09 didn't get the LSD sadly, it sux 😊
I'm truly surprised. 🤯
I think I'm going to fit one from a 2010, can't wait 👍
Will these pass a Irish nct
Sure. They won't notice it's there.
Yes because its not locking at all 😂
