I've had the Quaife ATB + M3 bits installed for about 150 miles now. Amazing difference. If you're on the fence about getting an LSD ..... this is the #1 mod for the 335i. The open differential on this car is B.S.

No hesitation with the Quaife; when going over uneven road surfaces, manhole covers, and especially in turns - the power delivery is direct and smooth. It simply pulls straight while accelerating - before it felt a little jittery. And through turns, it just pushes you through effortlessly. I didn't realize how fickle that open diff was ..... I won't get another performance-oriented car without an LSD.

Another example - pulling out of a side road and making a 90* turn. It's crazy how different even that is.

And the M3 front and rear sways + subframe brushings make a nice difference too. The sways noticeably tightened up the turn-in feel and reeled in body roll; the M3 subframe brushings are harder and not only transmit more road feel to the driver but help keep the rear planted while putting down power.

I can't wait to see what this setup does on the track. But I would not hesitate to get an LSD + these supporting mods just for the street.

VAC could not have treated me any better. They made sure everything was done right the first time and were able to get some parts I needed in short notice. They also liked my exhaust combo.

Give Mike ^ a call right now and set up a differential build .... #1 mod, it really is.

Oh man... who knows, some drivers surprise you in the most unexpected cars. Acura needs GT35 turbo kit, nitron 3 way and hooiser r6's IMO

Well, I can say that my WWD car came with Brembos, beefy bars and an LSD from the factory

It will be fun...esp running with you BMW guys.

^ beautiful sound but WAYYYYYY to expensive.

Brian_VACsales · 01-09-2012, 03:55 PM

With the 2012 pricing this system is $8k+. It's def too expensive for a chump like me, but some people want the best and price is not a concern. Not a bad way to live

woptang22 · 01-11-2012, 06:14 AM

Just wanted to thank CJ and the crew at VAC for a great experience. You guys installed a set of KW coilovers on my alpine white 335i sedan a few weeks back and I love it. Everyone is very kind and welcoming. I will never use another shop again. I stopped in about a week ago to have someone check my Service engine Soon light and CJ helped me out with the issue and I plan on being back to get the car fixed there,. thanks for all your help and great people working there.

Brian_VACsales · 01-11-2012, 10:39 AM

Thanks for coming in man!
