Exclamation Couple of questions for the C63 Gurus out there.

Just picked up a 09 c63
Has every option except for the p30

Looking into installing a LSD, should i pick up a OEM LSD that came with the p30 or a quaife one?

Cost is about the same, also are they basically bolt on?


As for the rear tires, whats the widest we can go before rubbing? thinking of 285-295?

Car should be delivered in the next week or so, looking to get all the parts lined up for delivery.

thanks!

I have the Quaife on mine and a OEM on a friends they seem to work ptretty much the same, The Quaife may be more trouble and maintenance free cause it has no clutches? But think the OEM may be lighter

Cost is about the same, also are they basically bolt on?

The Quaife was not too difficult to install but best to leave to someone who has in the past.

have 265 on mine right now think 275 max on the Stock rims

thanks!

Congrats on your new toy I love mine
