MY2012 LSD vs. old ones.
Guys, I was reading the official AMG site and notice that for the MY2012, MB listed the LSD as only 30% locking. If I remember correctly, prior to MY2012, the official LSD is 40% locking right? Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

I would think it would be difficult to argue with the facts available on the website, considering MY2012 is still early in its production cycle.
MB/AMG claimed the new suspension setup and, I believe, rear end are better tuned and stronger than the preceeding MY's, so I would be interested to learn why they opted for less percentage of lock?

C63 AMG Coupe P31
Sheep,
I just went from a 2011 lsd to the 2012 lsd and actually the 2012 feels more planted to me. it may be because my tires were warn out on my 2011 and my 2012 has fresh rubber but im interested in the answer to this quandary

2012 C63 coupe
Didn't Mercedes also make suspension changes too in 2012? I know they did on the coupe base on their website and reviews. That could be what you are feeling as well.
