While my car is down, I went ahead and bought a WaveTrac LSD for the beast as I got an amazing deal. Any guys have experience with them over the Quaiffe diff?

Pretty excited about it as Bruce at TTM says it is the game changer.

Sitting at Buckhead Imports? I talked to the gang there today about doing some work and they mentioned you.

My girl is at BI Performance in the vinnings. Good shop no doubt.

Game changer indeed:

I can walk to it from my house. Literally.

I'll see what they come back at me with a quote for cut-outs I want...and they just may end up getting all of the other work I've got back-logged due to the delay on the long-tubes (yep...still have the heat exchanger, 180 pulley, and tune waiting to go...)

Doh.

A guy with an SL55 posted on the SL AMG board a while back that he got a Wavetrac installed, he was happy it, said it helped his car considerably.

Sounds good.

I am a wavetrac dealer and have sold a lot of them for the evolution with no problems. I will be installing one in my car soon. Putting a chattering clutch type rear lsd would not be ideal and the wavetrac does offer the best of both.

I talked to Bruce at TTM right after I got my beast and the first thing he said to do was get a quaife or wavetrack LSD...I am curious from any of you why this is such a gamechanger? What exactly will it improve? Please excuse my ignorance I love learning about this stuff on this great forum!!

It seems like after reading the link from Timetoy that if you are not on the track - and I don't look at the E55 as a good track car - what benefit will you get?

Better traction, considering the E55 has considerable issues with traction, or lack thereof, anything that increases traction is welcomed.

An upgraded LSD will help send power to the wheel with the most grip, instead of the stock open diff whereas power is sent to the wheel with least grip, generally speaking.

Congrats on the purchase, Chawkins! I'm sure you will enjoy it!

Okay, so generally speaking, how much do they run? I guess it's the same model for a cls55, and where can I find one?

Thanks! AJ.

The Quaife is around $1200 and the Wavetrac is slightly less.....IIRC

Truly is a game changer. I just put a Quaife in mine >500 miles ago and it's a completely different car..

Ya it's still got a lot of traction issues but every single aspect of the driving the car is enhanced.

Can't wait to hear your thoughts homie

BlackCard

I saw someone selling new ones on eBay for less than $1100. Anyplace in MD or VA that can put it one for me at a good price?

My Wavetrac is in and I will be getting the beast back this week, I cant wait.

Quaife LSD made i huge diffrence in my car. it is really a great addtion. car drives better not only luanching it. but also on twisties. I miss my beast already and i sold it before 2 weeks.

or you can go with CLS55 LSD if you want to use stock parts.

chawkins2001

You will need to take a spin in my beast when I get it back, so you can feel the LSD. I have a feeling you are going to want one

Is it lighter than stock? Their website says so, less mass is what it says so did you weigh it?
