RacingDiffs LSD conversion set review after 250K Km!

#LSDConversion #RacingDiffs #E39LSD
We decided to drop down the diff from our daily shit box for towing diffs, cars and such. We installed LSD conversion in it before 250K Km. As you can see we wasn't quite gentle :)

[@friguy4444]

Great video and product from what I can see. Thank you! I wonder if you guys could think about trying another way of selling your product and making more profit while giving the public something they want as well. From my understanding the most intimidating part of all this for the average car owner is the installation of the unit. If you had a system set up where you could have pre-installed LSD conversion diffs in the most popular models of cars and for a price you would sell the whole diff with the unit installed and the owner must give you their old diff in the deal. The price might be something like a total of $800 or maybe it would have to be $1000 and their old Diff then the installing of the diff is done by the owner however they want. That would still save the owner huge money compared to the cost of buying an LSD diff and you could make lots more money. I know it would mean expanding your business but isn't that what business is all about? Just an idea. A good one I'd imagine but that'll be up to you guys.

[@RacingDiffs]

Thank you for sharing the idea. Much appreciated. 👍🏻

[@f308gtb1977]

Shipping a whole diff back and forth between Europe and the US sounds very pricey, no?

[@DuncanMcOkiner]

Hi there. Seems an amazing kit. I have a 1991 Mercedes S124 300td. Would your kit fit my diff and also how much would shipping be to the UK?

[@RacingDiffs]

Thank you! Im not sure about your model. We have the set for 185mm doff type. Perhaps you can check with some Merc specialists about the fitment. Perhaps your model has 210mm diff.

[@FStan-co8vv]

This is pretty impressive, I want one for my E46 320i (M54B22 engine) - As far as I can see, the kit was still doing the lockup even after 250k km? Sounds great

[@RacingDiffs]

That's right. If your car is a manual transmission, you need 188k set, the same one as this in the video. If it is automatic trans, than 168k. www.racingdiffs.com/collections/lsd-conversion-sets/products/bmw-e46-e90-e92-e39-e60-lsd-conversion-set

Is any machining required for spider gears when installing the kit in a e36?

[@RacingDiffs]

Not for spider gears, no. 👍🏻

[@tz13]

For my 2003 facelift 325i will it need the 188k set? Is the difference between sets the ratios or actual fitment. I have a manual converted e46 so I still have the OEM auto differential

[@RacingDiffs]

325ci has 188k in both cases. The only difference is the ratio. But, it doesn't affect the fitment of the conversion set. So you need 188K.👍🏻

[@sythenalpha2037]

How regularity would you need to change the diff oil would it be same as stock and how do these compare to other plate type lsd’s

[@RacingDiffs]

We recommend oil change every 2 years, like in the brake system. For more sporty usage, more frequently. It is a great substitution for oem plated LSD.

[@Koloxwy]

Hey there, recently ordered your LSD kit and there is two unreseolved questions : - On specs it is marked as 60.000km replace for friction discs, and here 200.000 with no wear : -> 60.000km with agressive street driving, or 200.000+ with "normal driving" ? - We talk here about friction discs wear, -> Please what about spiders, lsd ractangle plates, and axle Wear is negligible on this parts ? Thanks !!

[@RacingDiffs]

Yes, 60k km aggressive street driving. Spider gear won't wear, only friction discs over time. We made them this way so they couldn't damage gears.

[@yunzyrade8160]

Hi there. On an E90- 318i, I have developed rear diff noise (metal whining, rattling, howling sort of noise). Thus it has been taken off and is with a recon specialist. I’m hoping it is just bearings and seals, however I fear also the gears are damaged, no idea why. Just a guess, this makes it unreconditionable as BMW don’t sell these parts for the E90. However, I was told it is very rare the gears go bad inside these diffs, mainly bearings and seals?

[@RacingDiffs]

Rest assured that bearings and seals are the only problem👍🏻
