LSD advice

[Howie-N54 1]

Looking for recommendations for diff specialists around Auckland. Well they don’t have to be specialists but just need help with finding an LSD for a 135i with out spending $4-5,000 buying and shipping the full pumpkin from over seas.

have been looking into this as well for my 135i, depends on if you have a manual or automatic car, automatic is easier as it is a bolted ring gear, so it is  easier to swap over.

seems there are a few different options

 speed science will sell you the LSD core for about $2200ish and then you can either install it yourself or pay someone to fit it

can buy the LSD core directly from Mfactory, works out slightly cheaper especially if you can find way to avoid import duty then it will be fair bit cheaper than speed science.

Kayne barrie can do the whole thing for you for about 3k.

speedfactor in Tauranga can sell you a Ruff branded LSD core for $1800ish, and you can install it yourself or possibly send them your pumpkin and get them to fit it for you at an extra cost

 

im tempted to just order one direct from Mfactory, they seem to have decent warranty and people have had good experiences with them, install doesn't look too complicated with the right tools, just have to check backlash with a dial gauge and it should be good.

You need to do side bearing preload also, if you want it to be reliable.
