Transform your open differential into a real clutch-type LSD
Upgrade your BMW E90, E92, E87, E82 or E60 with a high-performance 188L Limited Slip Differential (LSD), designed for newer-generation BMW models equipped with low-friction differentials. This upgrade transforms your factory open differential into a true traction system, eliminating one-wheel spin and delivering improved grip, stability and control for street, drift and performance driving.
This drop-in unit replaces your factory open carrier with a fully forged, clutch-type differential core that delivers maximum traction and race-grade reliability — while staying civil on the street. It uniquely combines up to 100% lock under full throttle with zero noise or chatter in tight turns, striking the ideal balance between performance and comfort.
Features
- Plug-and-Play Installation: Direct swap for the stock open carrier — no welding, machining, or special setup required.
- Clutch-Type LSD Behavior: Smooth, progressive locking for predictable handling and superior grip in all conditions.
- Fully Serviceable Kit: Includes fully forged ramp plates, pressure rings, clutch packs, and preload springs.
- Adjustable Ramp Angles: 30/60, 30/30, 50/65 and other options for street, track, or drift setups.
- Fully Forged Construction: Every internal and external component is fully forged and thermally treated for maximum strength and longevity.
Performance Benefits
- Eliminates the one-wheel-spin problem permanently.
- Maximum traction and perfect corner-exit control.
- 100% lock on demand with silent, seamless operation in sharp turns.
- Improved stability, lap times, and driver confidence.
- Ideal for drift, track days, and spirited road driving.
- Lifetime warranty and worldwide DHL Express shipping.
