In this thread the OP asks about the Fiesta ST tho - with it's 1.6, lighter weight and less torque, the lack of a diff is not such an issue - it's generally rated far more highly as a drivers car than the Focus.
If you really want an LSD I'm sure you could buy one and get it fitted by one of the companies like Quaife etc, they make one for the XR5 Focus.

An LSD has a benefit of removing a lot of torque steer from a FWD car too.
