Does the Super Lock LSD for SXE10 fit the Lexus IS300?

No. The Super Lock LSD for SXE10 cars, part number TY131-HA, is listed for the four-cylinder Altezza RS200 with a manual gearbox. The US Lexus IS300 shares the body but uses the 2JZ-GE six with a different drivetrain, so it needs a different part.

Is it good for drifting an Altezza?

Yes. Locking both rear wheels under power is what makes a slide easy to start and hold, and an open differential cannot do it. The light RS200 responds well to a clutch-type unit, and OS Giken can retune it for a more aggressive setting.

Does it suit road use?

Yes. OS Giken sets the Super Lock with a light preload that still reaches full lock progressively, and its Japanese catalogue rates the design among the quietest LSDs in town. In everyday driving it is barely noticeable. The gain shows at the limit.

Is an imported Altezza easy to service?

The differential itself is straightforward, and OS Giken supports its units with in-house rebuilds and retuning. Bulletproof Automotive can source OS Giken parts through its US distribution, which simplifies ownership of an imported car. Ask us about parts availability anytime.

Can it be retuned later?

Yes. OS Giken changes initial torque with cone springs, lock timing with pressure ring springs and ramp angle with the pressure ring and iron cross, so the differential can follow the car from road use to track or drift setups.

Description

OS Giken Super Lock LSD for SXE10 Toyota Altezza RS200 Manual

OS Giken’s Super Lock LSD for SXE10 Toyota Altezza RS200 Manual fits the Japanese-market Altezza with the 3S-GE four and a six-speed manual, a compact rear-drive sedan well suited to grip and drift driving. The RS200 is light and well balanced, but its high-revving engine and short wheelbase unload the inside rear readily, and an open or worn factory differential lets that wheel spin. OS Giken’s patented pressure ring locks both rear wheels progressively under power. It suits an imported Altezza being set up for track days, drift practice or spirited road driving.

Fitment Notes

Turn 14 lists this unit for SXE10 Altezzas built from October 1998 to April 2004 with a manual gearbox. The US-market Lexus IS300 shares the body but uses a six-cylinder engine and a different drivetrain, so it is not covered by this part number.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
