How many hours did the shop take?
If you are still in OC which shop did you use if you feel like you can say?

Hey guys, I wanted to see if the following differential part numbers will fit a 2003 E55 AMG:
-A2303500349 bearing
-A2303500249 bearing
I see in the beginning of the thread that it fits a 2004, but I'm not sure if anything changed. My guess is that they do fit. Thanks for the help!

sorry for the delayed response...
jet...after the LSD installed, I ventured to other mods and really was driving her conservatively. I just installed the SGA Valve Body last week and in the “breaking in” stage then I’ll be able to test out the LSD. Might do a new write up on my recent mods (92TB, meth, BBV, and VB). I’m pulling trigger on Force Induction Interchiller today so there’s a 3-4 weeks wait period for delivery. 😃

LSD and other mods.
I look forward to your perceptions of these mods. I am particularly interested in the 92mm TB. I have seen lots of info on the 82mm, but nothing on the 92mm. Are you concerned about the “hiccup” which seems to plaque some of the 82mm TB? Did you consider the “Active” interchiller instead of FI ?What is BBV and VB?

so I added 92TB and blocked the bypass valve along with installing VB. Just yesterday I swapped my 68 fixed pulley to 70 scp and with that switch it made her performs so much better. I did a couple rips today and I love all the recent mods. Unlike prior to the pulley switch, it was running hot, even with a killer chiller and meth. I’m enjoying the heck out of her now, VB, LSD, HSTC all in one is hard to tell which makes a difference. I’d recommended one or all if possible.

Enjoying the revival of this post, and it's timely for me since I've had my Wavetrac sitting on the workbench for close to a year, and it's finally getting installed Monday. Also installing an F1 Rear Camber Kit at the same time.

I haven’t done full WOT on 3rd since all the mods but I found this video on one of the AMG Facebook by Aaron B showing off his SGA VB. looks like a hoot! Hope my VB will shift as fast...lol

Just to chime in with some wavetrac longevity here, 2 years on mine, daily driven, and 100+ trips down the strip. Zero issues, and def helped out with the traction, also allows a proper burn out.... as before I would get peg-leg water box burnouts.
