Wanting to put an Limited Slip Differential on my 05 LS.

2.2 EcoTec / 4-speed automatic.

Where would be a good place to shop for one?
-- suggestions on particular ones would be nice.

I'm not looking for xtreme or racecar type @!#$...
Just something to give me a little more performance / traction.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "performance/traction" because a LSD only helps to keep power going to both wheels. I.E. either trying to do a burnout/launch of the car, or accelerating through a corner, putting power to both wheels equally.

I wouldn't really categorize either as "performance". If the car is stock, I would start with control arm bushings, if they have those for the ecotecs. That helps a lot to reduce wheel hop on a launch. As for corners, best to start by getting some grippy tires, rear swap bar, and then lowering the car, in that order, to get the best bang for the buck.
Hopefully this helps.

Actually, yeah... It does.

I'd like to lower it... But no idea what to get.

Not slam, but just enough to clean up the wheel gap.

Honestly when it comes to lowering I'd just say save for a few weeks/months longer and get coil-overs.

I made the 'mistake' of buying new lowering struts and new lowering springs and had I looking into how much the price difference then I'd have just saved up.



I miss my Cavalier, even if it made 100 hp on a cold day and had more suspension then it deserved.
