Hey so, im finally nearing my final stages of upgrades before i head to the big boy club and start playing with a supercharger.. im just curious how i would benefit from an LSD would it be worth it if i wont track the car? as im pretty much thinking of the car being a daily driver - run it in drags once in a while. Cheers!

I realised I needed an LSD during the test drive.

MB really cut the corners by not adding a LSD stock. You want to add a SC on top of the already massive amount of torque? You definitely need a LSD.

The LSD would make a night a day difference in terms of power delivery and both tires hooking up. I have no idea what Mercedes was smoking with having this car, with an open differential. I wouldn't even want to imagine this car with blower and no LSD.

cheers, been reading up a bit and figured id get myself a wavetrac soon! thanks for the input

I have a Quaife fitted and as per other posts, it makes a massive difference. The car just feels more planted and digs in under hard acceleration.

Wavetrac has changed my C63. I now have traction in most situations whereas beforehand it was just so easy to break traction. Best money I have spent on the C63.

A disgrace that a top quality LSD is not standard factory fitment.

In the same boat as c63beast. In the opinions of everyone here what is the best LSD option. I understand that both Quaife and Wavetrac have different technologies behind their gearing but I'm not proficient enough in the technology to know which is "better" or what the pro/cons of each are.

Its a stretch, but anyone out there know??

Equal
Both have smal advantages/disadvantages which offset
When you lift a wheel with the quaife supposedly you lose drive to the other
With the wavetrac you will still apportion some to the wheel with traction
6 of one 1/2 dozen of the othrr

Who cares if it doesn't come factory in a C-Class ...now if the E63 didn't have that I'd be kinda concerned, but we're basically driving a entry level AMG with a big motor..we're kinda lucky we have what we have for the price you can buy one for...

Anyways i had OEM LSD and now wavetrac and the wavetrac is a lot more "tight" ..the OEM felt sloppy before anyways so MB kinda did you a favour by not putting it in..saves you $$ when you get a wavetrac put in

I mean, are we though? It's an AMG that has been totally overhauled from the typical C-Class. Besides that body and maybe some interior pieces, the two cars have nearly nothing in common.

I sell special priced wavetracs to members and they all tell me it makes a world of difference. Unfortunately we can no longer get the Quaife because it is exclusive to one dealer in the UK. Send me a pm if you are interested in the wavetrac.

Vivid, is there install information available? I'm interested and would like to DIY the installation.
I've been into old GM rear ends and can't see this being much different.

Unfortunately, Wavetrac does not have any installation guides just because it is a direct replacement.

Same torque but less weight
Technically the c63 needs it more

y'all are my hookup already im going to work on lowering that price though!

I'm definitely getting a wavetrac soon, just doing a bit of research on the forums and i've seen the majority with wavetrac + theres always people saying it actually does a make a difference. Looking forward to the install soonish!

Apparently a time consuming exercise as so much stuff to disconnect/connect.

Only issue of any significance is that on some vehicles the Wavetrac will just touch the housing cover - minimal machining required or just use the angle grinder. Not something that will stop a do it yourself - just be mindful of the clearance and if necessary machine/grind a little off.

I will be ordering a Wavetrac LSD next week, Vivid

Can't standing not having a factory LSD anymore...
