2007 E63
Looking for an LSD for my 2007 E63 AMG.
Hello, I had a question for anyone with knowledge on this subject. I want to install an LSD on my E63 and was wondering the best LSD and what's also needed on top of it. Thank you!

E63 LSD
I installed an MFactory LSD, it was 1/2 the cost of a Quaiffe and has Cryogenically Treated Gears (which Quaiffe don’t have!). I got the Ring & Pinion from a 2008 Challenger SRT with 3.06 Gearing ( Mine was 2.82) and am happy with the results!
All the best!

What else was needed to install the LSD? I assume you used Challenger SRT gears as the stock OEM gears weren't compatible?

I wanted to change my gearing for my 722.9 Tranny from 2.82 final Drive to 3.06. I unbolted the 3.06 Ring Gear from a Challenger SRT Diff and installed it on the M-Factory Helical Coil LSD (Not-PLATE!) had to bring both cases to a shop to swap the Pinion Gears! I looked up the parts on EPC, but couldn’t find it when using the codes for an E63 as there were none! However, for E55, there indeed were! The pictures were very detailed within DAS/XENTRY/EPC that I was sure the Differentials were virtually identical to those of the E63! As such, the parts must have been too! So I ordered extra bearings for both sides of the LSD, used those huge OEM Cer Clips to lock it in, as well as got a bearing for the Pinion, however I had to, in the end, get it rebuilt as I didn’t have the Case Splitter necessary to add shims if the tolerances aren’t just right! Which, in my case, we’re not, as I experienced drive shaft drone at low (2k) RPM and had to remove it again to be rebuilt! But now it’s just awesome with me being at 55mph@3k RPM in 4th, 73@4k & 90@5k!
