Pretty sure you can only get front LSD setups in some very expensive STI WRX gearboxes. You'd likely pay more than the value of your entire Brumby and then have to install it too....if you can actually find one forsale.

some of the aftermarket ones were kind of reasonable as far as i knew.

I think the Liberty B4 had a factory fitted front LSD.

pich one of the 5mt box's in here with a helical lsd and pull the front diff centre out of it, or there is a range of aftermarket items as well

Kaaz, Cusco, STI, Torsen, they start from aroung $1500 bucks new

Seen a couple of STi front VLSD's and aftermarket LSD's that used to be fitted to WRX's on ebay. They go for around $600-$1500 secondhand depending on what.

I wouldn't put a phantom grip in a gearbox. In the rear diff, yeah fine. But in the front where it will chew itself up and the bits run through all your gears, that doesn't sound nice.

I'm got a Torsen LSD for the front diff in my race car. They tell me they're not much good if you lose all traction to one wheel (like lifting it in the air) but I've really only got it to protect the box. Might not be enough, we'll have to wait and see. For low speed off-roading you may be better off with a clutch-pack or plate-style LSD. The downside is the heavier it is (better it works) the greater impact it will have on your steering.
Search ebay, rexnet, rs, and any other subie forums.
