Limited Slip Differential for CLK 430???
I just picked up a '99 CLK 430. I love the car besides the open diff. Who makes a limited slip for these cars?
Thanks,
Jon

Big and Heavy 03 CL
Possibly Quaife?

Their application guide doesn't list one for a W208 unfortunately.

I know there are a couple people with a quaife on w208 clk55's...do you really need something other than the stock differential with the 430? I just went from 430 to 55, and i seriously see how the 55 needs a LSD or quaife, but the 430?

I just don't like only spinning one tire. I plan on taking it to the track this summer and in the tighter corners it will definitely be annoying to spin the inside tire instead of having traction.

99-00 use a different differential. I believe you're able to use a differential for a C32 for the 99-00 430s.

Did the C32 have a limited slip stock?

clk 430
Or you can just be an idiot like me and do a bunch of donuts.. I did that then left the plot and every time I turned it felt like I was driving a welded dif. Then I put it in reverse n did a reverse screech and felt a pop. Now my 430 drives like a champ and does two wheel burns all day! Hella weird..
