German vehicles stink, will never buy again. Moved on to Toyota and BYD.
Silver: Not sure... I got that from Kleemann's website:

Better grip - Faster acceleration

The KLEEMANN Limited Slip Differential is available for all Mercedes-Benz models fitted with a "large housing" differential case. This means all models with V8-, V12-engine and the new SL 65.

V8 & V12 Mercedes-Benz models
Overflow of engine power is no good if it cannot be transferred into wheel traction. Therefore, KLEEMANN has developed a Limited Slip Differential (LSD) with a 60 percent locking mechanism, which means that the mechanical devise applies a 60 percent lock-up ratio between the two drive wheels. In contrast to a standard ESP-system a Limited Slip Differential (LSD) is a very sporty and high-performance approach to control wheel spin thereby improving the car's traction.

At no time will only one wheel receive all the engine's power, and by powering both drive wheels at the same time, the engine acceleration power is distributed more evenly, hence reducing wheel spin and in the end lowering acceleration times significantly.

Using the KLEEMANN Limited Slip Differential (LSD) gives an immediate result. Testing has shown that a Mercedes-Benz 55 AMG will drop as much as 0.3 second to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) with this modification alone!

SL 65 AMG
AMG has made a Salisbury type limited slip differential available as standard in the new Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG. This type of differential uses clutch plates and pressure rings to distribute power mechanically to the rear wheels based on individual wheel slip. As one wheel spins and the other does not, the planetary gears axles force out the pressure rings and clamp down on "wet" clutch disks, which effectively lock the differential. The pressure rings determine percentage of total lock, as well as the slip required to engage the limited slip differential.
KLEEMANN has designed a special modification to this rear axle to provide quicker lock up of the differential and a higher degree of clamping pressure. This modification is essential for tuned Bi-Turbos and ensures that a dramatic reduction in acceleration times can be realized. Driving dynamics are also greatly improved, as the differential is able to cope with enormous amounts of power without invoking ESP intervention.
Important notice: Our Limited Slip Differential kits are designed for off-road or motorsport use only.

Not sure what the last line is about.

really sorry for asking again but ....

For a ECU upgrade on a SL55 who would you guys go with Kleemann, Renntech or VRP and why ?

Why not ask on the SL55 AMG forum instead of the Non-AMG W220 section?
