MFactory LSD Group Buy

[Bnks334]

Reply to this thread if interested, and I will open a dialog with you. State if you are a bolted or welded and if you are automatic(3.46), manual(3.08) or DCT(2.56). Please specify if you only want the LSD unit.

I'd like to reserve a slot. Still waiting to hear back from a local shop though... Is there a cut-off point?

I've had this up since the 24th, I said two weeks initially and then said four. I've shipped out 8 differentials and a SMFW, so I'm about done. If I do continue, the price will have to go up by at least $100 so its worth my time. I'll add you to the list and send you a PM.

Received mine today looks good

Any chance yours came with a return label as well?

I had the first order, it arrived on Wednesday night. Everything looks great and it came with a return label! I'm swapping the diff out tomorrow. I already bought the following, if anyone is needing it:

RedLine 75w140: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006HKN6S
Whiteline Bushings: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BED6EIY
50mm wrench (tested and fits on the driveshaft): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GTZ1HC

I picked the heavier fluid because my car does see the track regularly. I also went with the white line bushings to match the inserts I already have. I may upgrade all the bushings at some point, but i'm trying to avoid whine for now.

Everything else I've had already. All the torx bits, jacks, stands, etc.
I also plan on using this for the fluid exchange after break in, its one of the best tools I've ever bought. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002SR7TC

Silly question. Does the drive shaft nut transfer over or was the m factory pumpkin supposed to already have it?

Looks like i skipped the step on ordering a new nut.

"So I'm approved as a dealer "

So... what about other MFactory products such as CF driveshaft?

I did sell a SMFW, but honestly I'm not really sure how far down this road I want to go. Send me a PM if you'd like.

Got mine installed over the weekend! All I can say is hallelujah! This is how the car should have came from the factory. Instant grin when I start off each morning driving. My fiance even noticed it felt much better and she couldn't care less about anything car related.

I’m assuming it’s too late to get in with the group buy pricing for full 3.46 bolted pumpkin? 188k

If you havent already fixed this, the nut comes off. It has to be rotated and wiggled around a bit though.

 

[Newguy123]

Couple quick questions,

Is there a break in period “x” amount of miles under light load etc?

Do these ship with oil? If so, after how many miles should it be changed?

Thanks!

Thanks! I had realized that right away. I should have bought a nut prior to installation. Will put a new one on when I drop it to replace the bushings.

So far only two cores have been returned. When you send it back just make sure you tag the unit with your name and phone number and it helps to put "SpoolStreet" on the note as well.

Also, for anyone needing to ship your core in advance or sell a extra differential, apparently UPS has the box and it is 21x21x17

I actually already spoke with them about that. I got rear ended about the same time I ordered the diff and unfortunately the same day I had to drop the car off at the body shop is the same day the diff showed up. It looked like just a bumper and taillight but they found some other stuff once they got it apart and had to order more parts so it's going to take another week. I'm pulling it out myself and promised to have it in the mail as soon as I get the car back but I'm stuck right now.
