WTB Wavetrack or Quaife LSD

Any group deals or specials on either LSD for my new 507?! I'm getting my dealership to put it on for me. So any amount of savings will be immensely paramount as dealerships charge stupid labor fees

Ironically it is cheaper to buy a Wavetrac and have it installed then to have it as part of the dealer option. As an option the LSD is 2k factory installed. The Wavetrac plus labor to have it installed was $1700...

Certainly saying the OE unit isn't a good one. However every P30/31 package customer we replace with a quaife or wavetrac has nothing but more positive words to say about the cars traction and handling characteristics.

PM Sent with some pricing.
