Nice ! More traction/power to the road. Bet your 350 gets right out of the hole and pulls hard. How much custom engineering was invloved to install and mate to factory bearing loads,etc?

C350
It was almost 750$. I took the qdf7v because it's a 10 bolts like the diff on the c350 after that we have to slot the hole almost 2mm to keep the bolts pattern for the ring gear. We had to cut and and open the seat for the drive axles (let holes were you insert the axles). For the the bearing it have to be turn to reduce the diameter and one side need a ring and the other have to machined to be at the right place. The ring gear seat have to be reduce to fit. This is almost what we have to do to fit the LSD
