Default S2K has an LSD, so do i still get stuck?

I have a 00 ap1 which is pretty low but is my daily so arent too worried about tracking this girl anytime soon, ive read all s2ks have an lsd so id think i wouldnt get stuck going up any steep (to an extent) entrance/exit. Can someone please let me know whats up with that and possibly a stock lsd replacement option as well?

thanks gentlemen

It's a torsen type limited slip diff. Google torsen diff to learn how they work.

There's no cheap replacement.

OP, are you saying your torsen isn't working properly? They are very reliable units and don't have components that wear, like a clutched diff. I was told by a reputable S2k diff builder that if the diff hasn't exploded, the torsen is likely still functioning correctly.

I assuming since the OP mentioned he was lowered, so when driving up a driveway, the car 3 wheels it and is unable to continue going up the driveway.

If that's the case, there is nothing wrong with the LSD...you just need to RAISE THE CAR UP.

haha yes that is the case, thing is i like my car lowered. sure only SOMETIMES i get stuck but not very often at all. i dont scrape and never have problems dailying the car especially for the crazy amount i drive it so i dont mind the loweness. hell i even wanna go lower lol (parts already orded btw {swift springs & new valve cartridges}). i just sure wouldnt mind never worrying about it. ok so instead of cheap someone wanna give me some kind of idea to what i could do?

thanks very much for the responses guys, s2ki always comes through
