Anybody who is still thinking about getting the Quaife should get one. I need to sell mine because the C32 diff swap didn't work out on my C320. It's been months of torture trying to work out a gear ratio solution to no avail. 
FS: New C32 Diff with Quaife installed and new axles.

Kind of, but I'm waiting to get a few more miles on the car.
That, and I'm a bit gun-shy on MB canceling my entire CPO warranty if I modify my wiper blades, let alone a differential.

1) Handling is so much more predictable under throttle (both partial and full).
2) I can now swing the tail out in a U-turn in a controlled fashion.
3) My mileage has dropped since the LSD install because I find myself flooring the pedal at every possible moment.
4) Autox is SO MUCH MORE FUN. I did a practice session last Sat and I was able to do 11 runs in my car. Although this pushes me out of the F Stock class, its well worth it because I think the overall improvement in time will more than offset the index change in moving to STU class. Note: I drove my friends 2008 Carrera S and didn't push very hard and got the same time as my C55 which I had to beat to submission to get the same time. The Carrera handles so well...
5) Previously in straight line full acceleration with ESP off, when one wheel started spinning, the car would shift slightly sideways. Now, it continues to push straight with a little wheel hop as expected.
I had an AMS Crank Pulley installed at the same time. So, my car feels a little faster as well though I can't quantify it because I didn't dyno before and after. However, using the AP-22, it shows minimal gains in max acceleration in each gear. In 3rd, the previous max was around .27G to .28G. Now, I've seen as high as .30 but still typically around .28G to .29G. 1st gear still seems to max out at around .65G. 2nd is now around .45G but I can't remember what it was before.
Can't wait to hear Brabus_C55's feedback.

You'll wait ... so will I ...
I've got some timing issues w/ leaving my car in LA for 2 or 3 days... so it may be a week or two
... or 3 ...
I can't wait to make a right hand turn without feathering the throttle through 30 mph. also tired of giving up hole shots ... hook up baby!
