Quaife lsd

I have found that a quaife unit may fit the early E55 differentials. According to the epc the carrier is the same as many other models including my car, so I bit the bullet on one for myself for my w124. It fits right in there. I was wondering what the interest is from this crowd.
PM me if anyone wants one.

What sort of improvements have you noticed? What kind of torque/HP are you pushing?

The Quaife lsd is really nice. I have done a few installs on other AMG cars also. It is completely undetectable during normal driving. But once you are pushing the car hard it is obvious that you are not doing peg leg burn outs.
I really like the feeling on turns under load also, although you do have to be more careful about spinning the car.
I make around 425hp/450tq out of my setup. Maybe a little more right now. I am going to go for more this year though. Maybe 500hp. I would really like to reach 400whp on the stock engine.

According to my info yes. PM me if you are interested. I am trying to get a large amount of interest. This is not the same as the 2002 and newer unit though.
