Its called an electronic "fake" Diff. It does a great job of foolin us that we have a LSD...put it on dyno mode and watch the fake LSD not spin two wheels anymore...

2005 Brabus C55
I was told the C55 has a 15% max LSD. If true, I hardly consider that a true LSD. If you can get two stripes consistantly you probably aren't stock.
Maybe try going into Dyno mode (see stricky at the top of the forum) & do a brake torque burn out ... if both tires spin for awhile you're probably not stock.

QUICK REMINDER:
For those who purchased, don't forget to send in your warranty card! I think you have 30 days from the purchase date to send it in. The last thing you want to have happen is denial of warranty claim for not registering your Quaife.

Donn, it feels great the car pulls forward in a straight line instead of side to side like b/f. I was getting my things together to go to the track tomorrow but have not been able to get my drags back. I really wanted to try it again with the LSD.

HELP !!!! Need info on Quaife install
[Have 2003 C32 and ordered a Quaife assuming all would go well. Found out it had the older, 2002, style diff. with the clip-in half-shafts. After extensive research I found:
Some are installed without using a clip.
Some used a different clip from GM if I recall correctly.
I also understood you could "upgrade" the diff. with the correct half-shafts.
Installing without clips may lead to fluid leakage. I will not install with without clips.
Questions:
Can I use a different clip, GM perhaps, and who makes it and what is the part number?
I would prefer to upgrade to the newer half-shafts. What MB parts would I need to do this?
Are there any other solutions for this problem?
Since AMG parts are hard to find is the diff. assembly the same as a C320?
Car is currently sitting on a lift and I would like to resolve this issue ASAP. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Why, the 09 C63 is getting the diff with the Performance Package???
Also, any updates on this? I need to know about install too? Anyone in Chicago do the Qaife Installs on the 04 C32??

As far as the update goes, the car is reborn. I should have put in the LSD 2 years ago. My C32 is from 2002, so the Quaife had to be installed without the ring. Fortunately, the diff is not leaking.
