Quaife LSD install @ RMP

only1 · 05-04-2011, 01:38 PM

So I won't bother to review the diff as those topics get beaten to death anyway....
Good shops on the other hand not enough. Before asking Rocco to install the diff i spoke with people who have had it done and other mechanics to get an idea of how longwinded an install like this would be. I was told anywhere from 1 full day to at least 2 days.

I dropped my car off this morning at 9, arranged a pickup as i thought i'd be most of the day. lets just say after i came back from lunch my car was done....

Everything is perfect, buttoned up the way it should be. I'm not into mechanics or anything but holy shit this guy takes the cake!

Thanks Rocco and the other guy...

Be back in two weeks for the m3 rear bar and Power flex urethane subframe bushings.

Price was actually very reasonable when I checked last time with Rocco.

He did it, with assistance here and there.
I could leave patches for days with these shitty 17 inch winter tires!
Turn in feels better, car has a willingness to change direction more easily.
I normally drive with dtc off, with it on though the light isnt going crazy
Like it used to. Big improvement.

Really, half a day? You have an '09 so that means they had to cut off the welded ring gears from the stock differential carrier, right? Wow...
