LSD for W216 CL63 TT

I'm wondering if anyone has installed an aftermarket LSD in a W216 car. If so what brand of LSD and have you had any problems with the traction control due to the locking and unlocking of the LSD?

I just traded my 2009 CL63 for a 2011 CL63 with PP. I never got around to having one installed in my old car. However, with the CL63 TT PP motor putting out 563hp and 664lb ft of torque it sounds like it might be a good idea. Any thoughts?

unless you will track your car (and if you do you are doing it wrong altogether - i would say that the traction control- simulated lsd is more than adequate on the cl65 cars. never driven a tt cl63, but if the stock setup is good for the cl65- it should be good for the new 63 tt cars too.
