if you're asking about 90-94, none of them.

none have a 4.111 LSD.
The 91 turbo legacy was the only year that had LSD, and its final drive ratio was 3.900

I thought some late 90s Legacy 2.5 GTs had a 4.111 final drive ratio and rear LSD.

I didn't think any of the 90's gt's had LSD's I know the 00+ do though, dunno what their ratio is though. But dzx, why limit yourself to legacy's? What about impreza's, foresters, and boutbakcs

I think some of the newer ones in Outbacks etc are 4.44 LSD viscous type. The old-old ones (mid-80's through 91) are 3.90 or even 3.60-something but never 4.11
I read somewhere about putting the clutch packs from the 3.90 into the case for the 4.11 and ending up with a 4.11 LSD without much work. I don't know if I'd truct an old clutch pack LSD from a 15 year-old car, they get worn and start groaning after about 150k in many cases.
I don't know a damn thing about fitment but 4.44 would be pretty sweet, I think the gearing at 4.11 is a little tall for the 5MT, especially if the engine were modified to be a little more rev-friendly.

I was mainly speaking of the first gen legacies. I'm sure there are LSD's available from newer models with that gear ratio.

Older cars had 3.700 LSDs. I've seen a few of them.

Swapping the 3:9 Viscous LSD over to your 4:11 diff is pretty straight forward .I did with no special tools and I've done a rally and a few thousand miles since I did it.

I've ridden in a nicely prepared GC 2.5RS with a WRX engine swap AND 4.44 conversion. It's pretty impressive, and tons of fun.

they put 3.545 Viscous LSD in some of the SVXs. unless you want to go 150+, i don't know why you would want they.
