Look at the sticker on your driver door sill/jamb, look for the area that reads "A/TM" You'll see numbers such as B02A, B02B, B02C A=no LSD B,C = LSD If you are still unsure, call 1800 25 LEXUS and ask them to look up your VIN and they can tell you what options it came equipped it from the factory.

DO NOT force it, you'll ruin the synchros. Normally I'd clutch out and clutch in again. You may want to change the tranny fluid. It's cold up here now days, the fluid is thicker than normal.

Your camber probably increased because being lowered, which means the inner half of them probably wear out faster, both front and rear. In the rear you probably have more toe in that usual, which will also increase wear.
Look up camber kits for your car. Cusco makes upper A-arms that make camber adjustable, but its pricey. I believe SPC makes camber bolts which are a ton cheaper. For the rear...

I am not to sure what threads you have read but, this link shows what you should look for and LSD and 2/3 towards the bottom shows what the insides look like.
As for problems if you are going to open it up I would assume that alot of metal shavings or pieces of the rear end in the fluid is bad.

You always want a thinner viscosity during the winter. That first number is the viscosity. I've heard some people swear by Mobil 1 0w40. It's about 6.75/qt, but I suppose it's better for the winter time. It shears...

^^^ "except it's stopping power"?
Care to give details on that statement? I tracked my car on stock brakes and it's holding up just fine. I've had a couple of close calls on my daily drive and it stopped on a dime! Just to let you know, your car is equipped with ABS. So, don't you try to pump that brake. Also, your tires and road surface can be a factor too in braking. If you have ...

A stereo shop with a DEI bit writer should be able to add/remove alarm remotes.
If you go with an aftermarket key blade (ebay), you can try to find a locksmith who can get the job done, but these guys seem to be hit or miss. I had mine cut at Lexus. It was probably a lot more expensive, but I didn't want to deal with a key that doesn't work right. Only 1 Lexus within 100 miles had the ...
