Any good shop in NoVA area for a LSD install?
Anyone to recommend a performance shop to install a Quaife LSD in Northern Virginia?
If I remember, a couple other e90posters form the DC area were getting LSDs. Would a “group” install be possible? We might get a better price as the installer will get on the learning curve after the 1st car. Thanks. |

Wiley... you have been pouring some serious cash into your 335! I bet your youngest son is hoping to inherit it when you will be tempted to get the new M3
Anyway, I heard good things about Curry's, but they are scary expensive. I usually take my cars to Pro-Imports in Rockville. Pat's work is top-notch and his prices are decent for maintenance and mod work. http://www.pro-imports.com |

To those in the "know" about this sort of thing, how much can we expect the price of an installed LSD to come down to? ...and how long till there is a good, proven, product out there?
I hear numbers anywhere form $2K to $4K for this one. For me, I can't see putting more than $2k into this mod to get what I want out of it. Also, is it safe to assume that this will void warranty on the trans? Is there a Dinan LSD which would be covered by a BMW warranty? -F1

Even with 275's in the rear and Michelin PS2's... just too much torque, an LSD is a must...

That's what I have been thinking. My only problem is I might be selling it off in a year or so and don't know how much I want to put into the car that I can't remove. Slowly I am coming around to the notion that I might try keeping it for two years, since the mods keep piling up. If that's the case, I my end up doing the Dif. I'm not sure about the ProCede yet, as I am just as much into balance as I am speed. I would like to be able to track the car a bit and I am thinking, at least for me, that brakes and coil overs would need to accompany the ProCede. Right now, a LSD, springs and PS2s are all I have planned. Hopefully that will be enough to keep me content. We'll see. Are you going to do the Dif.?

Will the LSD really help in straight line? I thought it was mostly for turning power distribution.
My previous car was a DC5 and I got the JDM LSD installed, to be honest I could not tell the difference in normal straight line driving, provided that the DC5 does not have much torque, but still... I would think it will make a real difference at the track, but not so much for street driving, but I haven't tested an Proceed'ed 335i with LSD yet... |

Juan, trust me...after spool gave me a ride in his procede'd 335i, I am convinced the car will benefit greatly with LSD in addition to serious rear rubber.

Great tuner shop and reasonable rates. I have had them do a lot of work on my Audi.
