Good luck on the limited slip.
One of the reasons why Ford changed the previous standard limited slip on the 03 into an option on the 04 was the numerous complaints they had on it.
It's actually cheaper to sell it as an option that fixing it all the time.

Even with the problems I'd still keep the LSD .. If it were me I'd drop the nav system and buy 10x the system for the same price aftermarket.. That's just me though, lots of people appreciate factory options more than aftermarket.

ff racer,
Before you take delivery check the build date. Only Ex & Nav built after 1
EC03 will have new pads. Ford has the new pads avail for replacement but they are NOT covered by warranty according to TSM #04-1-1

Maybe it's because on this date onwards we would have no more problems with the brake dust issue.

Before you drive one mile in your new Expy, talk to your dealer about trading in the Contis for a nice set of FIVE Michelin CrossTerrains. More than a few new Expy owners have moaned about vibration/balance problems with Contis.
Ford loves to put a crappy tire on a vehicle, don't they?
