Their are a lot of mercedes guys in the US and in england questioning the prices of the kleemann LSD which is a direct match to your design. Kleemann charges thousands for this setup and a lot of mercedes guys with w210 and 211 chassis E320's, E430's, and E55's are showing a lot of interest in your products. I myself have a turbocharged E320 running 10 psi and making just under 450 hp. It is a beast and but its open diff hampers its potential. Long story short: I have a spare E320 diff and if at all possible I would like to know if you could machine one of your LSD's for it and the cost. Also several members of www.mbworld.org have E55's and are still looking for an LSD and are also very interested in your products. One member also has a spare diff he would donate without question.

Maybe you can suggest for them to contact MBW to become a potential sponsor? Just a suggestion... it would be great!

This is, of course, a silly question, but what would this phantomgrip LSD do for my car? I just bought a 2002 E55 a little over a month ago.

They have agreed to do any mercedes diff as long as they get a diff to start with. I just purchased a used 1997 e320 diff for $300 with 20K miles and its now boxed up and ready to be shipped to them.

A true posi-rear? Better grip in/out of turns especially at higher speeds since traction is harnessed better on acceleration?

Thanks, benzbar. I haven't done anything other than aesthetic mods to it yet and I really don't know much about the guts of this machine. She's a true joy to drive, though. 145 mph will sneak up on you pretty quick.

They just messaged me back saying if you send them your diff the unit comes back installed! All included in the original cost.
