non limited slip differential for an E430?
Since I get better results and less criticism here (LOL) vs benzworld (no offence... great sorce) I descide to ask here.
Sometimes I dont like the fact that BOTH tires do not spin. Better yet, most of the time.
Is there a differential that makes both tires have that "push power"
or, I guess, posi-trac?
Ive been lookin for one, but, nothing yet. One thing that came close was the Kleeman setup for mercedes. but then, IDK
if that has what I want.
Does anybody have any info on this? Can someone please prove me wrong
?

posi diff
kleeman diff
AMG 55 3/10 sec 0-60mph
your car maybe 1/10 sec 0-60mph improvement
Very expensive and a lot of work.Admit it is fun when both wheels burn,is it worth it though?
full lock dif., you would hate it every time you went around a corner.
Randy's rack and pinion on the web,call them to see if they have any ideas as to a electronic/vacuum locker that lets you select.However you will loose the mercedes traction control function and it will still be pricey.

No
Fortunately I don't need it on the benz,other cars listed in profile and in garage have the power and the right dif's to catch rubber in all 4 gears, as the old song goes...It is very expensive to change out the rear on the e-series,but like I said give randys a call for suggestions.He has seen all and built all!

Big diff
Don't have the info on the e430 if it has the large diff housing as found on the e55 and amg if it does the units are somewhat over 2grand w/o install.
