Why go for 10’s if you are only fitting a 265 tyre? A 9.5 would possibly save guard work and any chance of heartache unless you intend to go fatter at a later stage.

I may go a bigger tyre at a later date, but i like the slight stretch look.

I have seen 10in rim with +48 and with a 285 tyre it slightly rubs when hammering it and hitting some hard bumps, thats on a 20in though. i got these wheels in 3 piece just in case i do have trouble they can be modified.

Nice way to go. I also like the stretched look on a euro, particularly when lowered where the guards are just sitting above the rubber.

is there anyone in australia (especially perth) that can install aftermarket LSD in the car?

otherwise will it be better if i just go for the LSD option from factory ?

sjhugh · 10-23-2009, 02:14 AM

If you are placing an order for the car, definitely go the LSD, you’ll find some disappointment if you don’t.

If you’ve already ordered, quickly get onto your dealer and see if it can be added to the order before they start manufacture.

If you’re too late to add it, you’ll 'sh*t' your pants when you find out the cost of a dealer fit.

Have you Goggled? There are tuners over your way that fit the Quaife to other makes of car, check with them to see if they’ll do a Mercedes-Benz.

i already ordered the car, thinking should i add-on that option.

it is a $6000 option and i believe aftermarket LSD is cheaper and better.

but i cant seem to find any in perth.

Fangster · 10-23-2009, 02:31 AM

I optioned it on my car and I cannot imagine driving it without one.

P.I. Staker · 10-23-2009, 02:36 AM

Id imagine you might have warranty issues if you go for an aftermarket diff. Its probably worth the extra.

I may have seen you today, saw a black one in the city with a number plate starting with B. That's all I managed to see though, you were going to fast for me P plate car. Was it you?

I also saw a Brabus 63 in Bellevue Hill pulling into some apartment garage. My god did that sound good!

Im in BH as well. My wagon should be arriving in a few weeks

Would be rinterested to hear your thoughts on the kit as Id like to get it done.
Did you send your car to Sharp in Melbourne or can someone in Sydney do it?

Awesome sound man, I was right in your arse yesterday trying to get a better look, I hope you didn't get the wrong impression!

I also found your video on youtube. IMO it doesn't do justice to what it really sounds like

Yes, I was in the city on 2,3 and 4 November, although I do try my best to restrain myself from going too fast in the city. Too many pedestrians...err potholes to hit.

Maverick, we're going to have to meet up! I've been dying to see a Brabus close up, and quite keen to see what a difference your old HREs might make on my car.

I’ve seen a Brabus around the Bellevue Hill area as well which I guess must be yours. You’re becoming famous. I love the Tenorite Grey colour.
