Hopefully I'm going to be opening up my 850's gearbox over the Christmas break. I'm considering putting an LSD in it in while I'm at it. Anybody got one they want to sell?
LSD for M56
The only worthwhile one is the expensive one.
The standard one in an R manual is worthless.
Best bet is sticky tyres , but then,I ran semi track tyres on the front of my R and still not great,it's a function of rubbish ratio spread and overpowered inner wheel in a turn , my R was standard too.....
Best bang I got was an awd v70R , I'd recommend the awd conversion and big power upgrade.
The 6speed gearbox has a better spread of ratios if you find one to swap in.
Quaife or gripper are the only 2 you want, gripper is a bit harsher and you have to get the plate angles correct or Quaife is fit and forget

OK, cheers guys. Is the best place to get a Quaife off ebay?
Edit: Found one advertised for a bit cheaper on a website called Demon Tweeks.

Probably best to buy direct from them if your spending that kind of money, or call them and ask if they have an authorised Oz distributor, will save tax and postage then.
@Ghettobird installed one not that long ago, he may chime in.
I went through Demon Tweeks, had it delivered in 2 days
Love it, worth every cent.
Don't forget bearings and sealant!
@Ghettobird Good to know. Cheers!
