limited slip

Does anyone know if you can upgrade an 08 HHRSS to limited slip?

I'd say anything is a matter of time and money however I know that lsd was only available on the 5 speed manual tranny.

Worth it

If you have an SS manual, then not having the LSD with all that power would be missed. Conventional disc brakes will probably stop you just as fast as Brembos (plus there's no easy conversion path), but the handling issues with no LSD are significant - and fixable.

Thanks guys for the answers. One more question, what are the suspension squeeks in cold weather caused by?

The cold......

Seriously though, much of it is the cheap rubber bushings.

suspension squeaks

Frequently the squeaks are from the front sway bar links/bushings. This is discussed repeatedly elsewhere.

Mine was making that suspension squeek/schrunch noise when we were in the great white north -18F got ahold of the dealer in Edmonton they say it is needing lube at those bushings sounded fishy to me but it stopped doing it so driving 2000 miles in the cold must have worked them in haven't heard it since.
