yes i am got Dunlop brand tyres and still loose a bit traction on zooming off from a stand still and some time in kick down while driving

i want to make use of the power rather than loose it i got a Ac Snitzer diesel upgrade still to fit which will add more power to the car

i have had E30s bmws before with a lsd the car transforms and you get much better handling even taking corners hard i back off as i can feel it might slide out from the back on the e60

i can feel i loose alot of power when the traction light comes on and one or the other wheel spins

thanks for the link buddy had a look at theres abit too much money

im sure we can use internals from another lsd as with the E30 bmw you could use Z3 E36 ones and E28 ones

any chance that the lsd will negatively effect the traction control system? possibly make it more easy to lose control or fishtail?

No it improves it

If you have a lsd and have traction on and you launch off from standstill the light wont blink as the lsd passes all the power to both wheels rather than one spins this is when the traction light starts flashing this lowers the power to the wheels it waits until the wheel spin has stopped or has been controlled make is a big difference which is a open diff is what we have

If you have two e60s one with and with out a lsd and do the above you will see major difference search lsd videos on youtube will show how good they are
