When you put your car on jack stands to put the springs on...spin one tire by 
hand. If the other one spins in the opposite direction, then you have an LSD 
diff. 
Uh oh...wait, did I remember that correctly? 
I do remember one of the simpler ways of checking was to drop the clutch at 
2000plus and see if you leave two nice tire marks instead of one...   :)
