[W126 Coupe] Rear diff?

[Eddie]

See?  That's why everyone is looking to build their own, or buy the AMG
units.  Afterall Renntech ONLY WANTS $4000 to fix my old 3.27 GT...

And good luck getting 30 units paid for....

David, talk to me, rishayegan at davidson.edu
What do you know about this diff? It would make it interesting if it
weren't too expensive, but I can't afford to put thousands towards a
diff with everything else that I'm doing.

BTW, Eddie, on the Quaife. They said a one off would cost $6500 (yes,
just one, and brand new, and only $1500 more than a used AMG) and a
batch of 30 would cost between $1200-2000, depending on the diff.
