RacingDiffs LSD Conversion Set – BMW Non-M Models
Upgrade your BMW’s open differential with the RacingDiffs LSD Conversion Set, engineered for enthusiasts seeking improved traction, durability, and drivability. Unlike budget alternatives, this kit is crafted from premium tool steel, heat treated and nitrated for exceptional wear resistance. Friction discs, made from the same high-grade material as the clutch plates, are included between the plates and spider gears to eliminate metal shavings—addressing a common issue found in low-cost kits.
The Progressive LSD design draws inspiration from ZF plated LSD units, utilizing ramp angles to deliver a low pre-load for smooth, open-diff-like behavior in slow turns, while providing dynamic lock and torque distribution under load. Experience sharper handling and confident traction without sacrificing daily comfort.

- No spider gear machining required (Easy Mount version).
- Includes all essential installation components.
