It appears that they are superceding the genunine MSP LSD with open diffs without telling some people:

as i posted in the the other thread, the warehouse supposedly shows 7 of the true LSD left, but they were adamant about not wanting to sell me them and are being told to substitute the open model. i have to wait for a supervisor from the warehouse to call now and see what options i have.

I can't believe Mazda would do something like this. At least they could tell the part supplier that they change the lsd to a open diff and lower the pricing.

I guess I have to save for the quaife

I thought there was a llaw that the deal must supply equivalent or better parts atleast 10 years after a model is sold?
If so then this be illegal.

i would agree if it was like the original lsd vs the updated one, not open vs lsd. thats apples and oranges.
