Differential Help
Does a 03 Differential swap into the R230 (in particular SL600). The does the 03 55 have LSD? What is the final drive for the E55?
Thanks for the help guys!

The only SL55's that come with a rear differential are the 030 packaged ones. I would suggest running a quaife LSD, we have them in stock ready to ship if you would like one.
$1350 plus shipping!

I was planning on it actually. First though I wanted to get a hold of a differential to build it into (so I could keep my OE unit completely OEM).
What differentials swap into my chasis? Could I use a 03+ 500 differential (one of the 2.9x) units and add the Quaife to that?
Would it 2.9x be able to handle the 600's torque. I figured the 10% raise in final drive would be a nice 'while your at it' upgrade too.
