Fitting a kaaz lsd

Mon Oct 20, 2008 7:37 pm

has anyone got a kaaz lsd in there e30? i just bought one, any tips on fitting it, like does it need re-shimed for example? i'm a mechanic but i just dont want to knacker a 750 pound diff, i have orderd new bearings from bmw, i have already compared it to another stripped diff it seems like a perfect fit, i just dont want any surprises! any tips would be great. cheers

cant help with your question but im curious as to why youve fitted it. what else have you done to the car?

i have got spax gas adjustable suspension -60mm, powerflex bushes-the eccentric type to sort the rear camber, front and rear whiteline adjustable antiroll bars, bmw short shift, high pres fuel regulator, chipped ecu, full stainless exhaust, and 9in borbets, and soon a 1.5way kaaz lsd, i dunno why i wanted a lsd for drifting, probably the same reason i spent 850 on my borbets lol

you are when you can pick up a 2nd hand good lsd for £250

only thing you will need to do is get it shimmed properly so the CWP is set correctly

would love a kaaz one day

stock lsd is a pile of shite compared to a proper 2 way----the kaaz has like 16 plates in it,,,,

i have a kazz fitted to my sport it was the best upgrade i ever got. mine isnt a 2 way its 1.5 but it still locks the wheels like crazy when you give her the boot it has never ever one wheeled on me , i got it 4 £300 and exchanging my old diff that was fooked. it was fitted to a tech 1 sport he bought as a spare car.
