your 95 ex does not have an lsd. the only us market civic/ integra to offer the lsd has been the Integra Type R that i know of. Now the new civic si is gonna have one.

LSD is the differential. Limited Slip Diff.

standard diff in your car only transfers power to one wheel, lsd transfers it to both. Hope this helps.

Most jdm hondas had the lsd as an option.

Little better explination. With an LSD it locks both the drive axles when driving in a straight line so you will get more traction. With an standard differential, the wheels will spin together up to a certain amount of torque (usually pretty low) once you exceed that amount of torque, only one wheel will be driving the car. However in turns they work the same way. Each allowing the outter wheel to spin faster than the inner wheel helping the driver with the trun. In short, LSD=good Standard=eh.
