There are no direct replacement LSDs for the DSM VC LSD, the inner axle stubs are incompatible. To fit any of the aftermarket LSDs (that I know of) you must change the inner joints to either Evo I/II/III parts or swap the axle assemblies for those out of a non-LSD car.

Once you have the correct axles, there are at least two LSDs available - Kaaz and Cusco, both of which are 'mechanical' or 'clutch pack' units. I have been using the Kaaz unit in my autocross car for a few seasons now, it appears to last about two seasons, then needs a new set of plates otherwise it starts slipping. The Kaaz is a fixed 1.5 way, where as the Cusco can be changed from 1-way to 1.5 way to 2-way by changing how the internals are assembled. Kaaz are available from a number of sources (eg RRE), I only know of one source of Cusco - Nukabe (napsusa.com).

I think Kaaz is the only game in town when it comes to the rear diff. Be aware that it's a big dollar item to swap because you need to get some factory parts.
