SL65 LSD?
I just picked up a highly tuned SL65 - I want to add an LSD. Renntech or Quaife?

Thoughts?

Thank you,
Erik

Maybe it has one already. What mods does the car have?

AFAIK it does not. Upgraded Turbos, Renntech CF Airbox, larger IC, IC pump, & ECU tune.

Thanks,
Erik

I believe all SL65's came with one from the factory. It's not 100% locking; rather, it is a 40% locking differential.

Yes, factory but not 100%. Depends what kinda driving experience you're looking for

Thanks guys - Boostd, did you do the other Renntech upgrades to the tranny as well or just the LSD?

Thanks,
Erik

Just the LSD from Renntech. TCU tune from Speedriven.

I ordered Quaife - price was too good to pass up.

Thanks for the advice. I'll post when it's installed.

Thanks,
Erik
