Hello, i'm looking to get LSD for my e92 335i AT.
Any suggestions and opinions are appreciated.

Thank You

Willing to buy used if the price is right.

Sick335 · 07-29-2012, 03:06 AM

And if you could suggest any shops in Los Angeles area for a proper instal would be great.

Thanks

They are in the SoCal area, you may be close enough to pick it up. Contact Harold for the best price. Not sure about installers, he may be able to recommend one.

Also, if you want to buy used, you'll need to look in the local or For Sale sections. Used LSDs aren't very common and usually sell quickly.

Thanks for the info, after crating the thread i did some intense research on this and it seems that wavetrac is the one for me... Would be nice to find a good shop for the instal tho, if anyone has any suggestions in the Los Angeles area plese let me know.

Well HPA sells both, but I'm not sure what's driving you towards Wavetrac. They are both great, in fact I've had both, although I've had better luck with my Quaife so far. You almost certainly won't be able to tell the difference, and Quaife has been around longer. That being said, you can't really go wrong - the LSD will transform your car.

my choice would be a 335is - 135i 1m - m3 stock lsd ( used rear diff assy )
but hard to find ....maybe the z4 fit also

335is doesn't have a limited slip

I don't think the 135i has one either. Correct me if I'm wrong but idk why the 135 would have one while the 335 doesn't.

The 135i doesnt but the 1M does.

Sick335 · 07-29-2012, 02:17 PM

Im sure it would be more cost effective to buy an aftermarket one

benzy89 · 07-29-2012, 03:12 PM

Really only 3 options for LSD's

OS Giken
Quaife
Wavetrac

If you search, you'll be able to get forum member's reviews of each one. Quaife seems to be the most popular

N00b question:

what is the advantage of LSD?

Traction. In an open diff(non-lsd) when one tire begins to spin all of the power will then go to that wheel and make it spin even worse, which just begins an endless cycle. With an LSD the diff will(attempt) to apply power equally between the two tires. The only down side to an LSD is that if/when you are able to break the tires loose the car gets squirelly, real squirelly.
