I have 2 cores, both open diffs. I would really like to get a LSD unit. Buying one used is cheap, but who knows how much life they have left. The street LSD's MM has have piqued my interest, and I have 2 good-condition cores I could send in. Granted, the shipping is probably going to kill me, but still. What do people think of them? Should I just go cheap & get a used LSD & send that in with the other 2 when it goes?

do they really go bad? I have had LSDs on all 3 of my e30's and they all worked, one with over a quarter million miles. and I thrashed all of them. I would say pick up a used one.

You can always buy a rebuild kit from Bimmerworld or Diffs Online for a used LSD, if you pick one up.

depending on the cost, it may not be really needed. you cannot at all find a OEM LSD unit?

mine is original @ 156K in my car and spins both tires all day long (often on hills when i dont expect it! )
