What to look for in C63

Limited slip is must IMHO. It will only control about 40% of the slip however as these cars have so much power. Those w/o limited slip tend to sizzle their tires. The P30 package is great. It includes the limited slip and heavier suspension. I have it on my car. However, be aware that the ride can be "bone jarring" on bumpy or non smooth roads. I think P30 was phased out sometime in late 2010. My car is an early 2010. I will let others here correct me if I'm wrong. SERVICE records are a must. The rear diff had a break-in oil in it that should have been replaced in 1500 miles. Mine was not but they said all was ok at the dealer...so I assume its ok.

Don't they have an aftermarket LSD available that offers greater lockup?

Yes you can buy a 100% limited slip diff. I'm thinking about getting one. It is however about $2800 installed.

not if you purchase through us, the LSD is $950, install kit is $300 (fluid, seals, bearings, sealant) and install should not be above $5-600.

Let me know if I can help.
