Quaife LSD Dealer in the Chicago Area?

Anybody know a Quaife dealer with M-B installation experience in the Chicago area. It's a mod I'm really interested in. However, I don't want to trust my baby to somebody who hasn't worked on SL's.

Thanks,
David Shapiro

Try asking Autotech/Quaife America. That's what I did. I emailed them yesterday and they replied back today with a referral for a local drivetrain company/Quaife installer in Anaheim (Unitrax). I'm going to try them out. You can also visit their website at Autotech.com for more info on dealers in your area.

It would be cheaper to either ship the car to you, or fly you down and rent garage space, than for me to take a day or two off work to drive to Detroit.

Chicago Performance in Melrose Park can install the Quaife. They installed mine. It took a week, but they figured it out.

If you're willing to travel, have Sunil do it.
