In short none that already have an LSD out the box, unless you're handy at some serious fabrication work and clever enough to get the speedo working but for the time, money & effort involved with that you'd be better off just buying a diff & getting it fitted.

It depends what you want it for tbh, if it's a balls to the wall, massive power build you're doing then other boxes like VAG etc are more viable option but if not, there's not much point. There's a large range of boxes that will all physically fit ranging from the Jb3's in the R5 & valver, right up to the JC5 in the 182 Trophy. They all have different ratios, some have speedo drives for the speedo cable to fit into & some don't

Depends on what you're using the car for, balls out track/race car then the plated diff is better but they're a bit much if it's a daily driver
