Proper weight balance will give you the best results.

Limited slip and locking diffs will negatively affect cornering. The wheels need to rotate at different speeds when turning. If they don't, you lose traction because one wheel skids as it tries to turn the same speed as the other.

 

Get the weight distribution even from left to right and you will not have trouble with one wheel slipping.

Run a larger sway bar on the rear to allow more front suspension roll. This keeps the tires in contact with the ground, and will encourage the back of the car to rotate, giving you an oversteer effect.

I believe there's one or 2 aftermarket options for front LSD but, not 'stock'/OEM (that I know of...?) and not cheap/trivial to install. Seems like there was one on ebay I saw a long time ago.....

 

might be some Aussie sandrails that run like that, not sure.

 

check over at NASIOC too.

I guess there's some confusion. Do you have an AWD vehicle or a FWD Legacy. I think FWD went away about 1996?

 

ebay has LSDs for the front diffs of Subarus from several hundred to $1500 or so. Not sure on application to your car's trans. Cusco, OBX, Quaife, maybe Giken... just need to email, research what fits that trans.

 

here's a thread about the OBX - http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=700370&highlight=obx+diff

I have a front wheel drive. I'm doing figure 8 enduro, so I need to maintain my fwd.
