Limited Slip / Torque Biasing Differential

Since the regular Mazda3 S GT does not come with a LSD, would any Mazda dealer be capable of installing the correct LSD prior to picking up a factory order?

I understand the Mazdaspeed3 does have a LSD, but I am not fond of dealer markups. I prefer to factory order a new car and I'm not sure they'd let me do it with the Mazdaspeed3.

The MS3 has a completely different transmission, I am not sure the MS3 LSD would even fit. My guess is the swap would run >$1500 if it was possible.
