2006 SL600 RENNtech
Limited Slip Diff

I am ready to invest in an LSD for my 2006 SL600. I would like to go with the Quaife but I can only find SL55 and SL 65 applications listed on their website. I have emailed Quaife and not gotten a response.
Is anyone using the Quaife diff? Part number or link? What have your results been with the unit?

Thanks in advance!!

Did you send your email to Quaife, or BIrdsauto ? Birdsauto is the distributor for all mercedes applications and is the outfit you need to contact (as quaife does not sell mercedes applications directly).

hope that helps,

oops,
I meant to post a link to their R230 page (which show an SL600 as being supported)
https://www.birdsauto.com/quaife/sea...es&s=50543&mi=

these prices have not gone up (since I organized a group buy for nearly 20 forum members in 2015).
I have been running a quaife in my SL55 since then and have been happy with it.

James (Bird) is who I dealt with, but they are all helpful there.

Have you thought about a Wavetrac LSD?

wavetrac is a good choice too (I put a wavetrac in my SLK32 about 7 years ago and I have been happy with it).
