main dealer have offerd me a great deal on a new c63 but it hasnt got limited slip diff...is it a must or could i live without it and save 10k of the list price...can any one who knows advice on the ltd slip diff

I am Jeff

Go with the great deal and install a quaife lsd later on. That's what I did. Some might say a LSD is not necessary, but i feel it's essential requirement for this car.

I strongly recommend the Performance Package (includes the diff). Besides the Diff being under warranty, the forged internals, Factory Tune, 2 piece rotors are all worth it. Definitely install the diff if you go for the car without. But I feel that if you are purchasing this car having the stronger engine components covered under warranty is worth it, especially if you are going to tune the car or drive it hard.

Definitely this.

I think this makes sense as well.

I always wanted the ppplus but i would have settled for just ltdslip as i thought the new gearboxes are mint..and now because i know someone who works there ive been offerd a great spec car but no ltdslip...does it handle crap without it? and if so why not fit them as standard.

Slightly off topic.

Anyone in Australia that has installed the quaife LSD on their non LSD C63 Coupe PP?

How much was the total cost and assuming it voids the warranty?

I would verify that for US cars. 10/11 PP included everything you mentioned plus c/f rear spoiler but the LSD was a $2,000 stand alone option. I don't know about current model year.

am i right in saying that the lsd only really maters when esp is turned off

I am Jeff

You will feel the LSD when traction is turned on Sport and Off mode.

andya34

so when the traction is left on i suppose you couldnt tell...?
im just concerned about my safety without it...but if the car wasnt safe without it it would be standard

esses

it depends on how you use the car...for calm daily driving, lsd is not going to matter. however, once you begin pushing the car, lsd makes a tremendous difference.

i generally drive with stability turned off or at least in sport mode, and limited slip makes a huge difference in throttle steering the car.

it was the first option i checked off on my build sheet, followed by the development package.

esses

also, 10k off of sticker may or may not be great. what is that as a percentage of msrp? is the car a 2012 or 2013?

andya34

well its the 2012 unregisterd...

2012

LSD??....GO FOR IT.....it should be standard.
Especially if you go for the the Performance Package...which shows you're interested in "performance".....so yeah,....GO FOR IT.
Cheers, Pickles.

My 2012MY UK car has the PP, but the diff was still extra
