Updated differential support kit...will it work?

[willow1308]

Hey gents...I found this differential support kit for a E36 BMW on the internet. It's sold by Active Autowerke. Check it out at www.aatuning.com/drivetrain/main.php The installation data is at www.aatuning.com/faq/AA%20Tuning-DSB.pdf Any thoughts...will this be a long term solution for my differential flex problem with my BDR #98...I'm going order this kit and give it a try. What would be the pros and cons, and has anybody allready installed this kit?

My differential support kit arrived today...very nicely finished...heavy duty construction! I'm going to install this weekend...I assume this will beef up the front diff. mounting point and solve the flex issue when the differential first comes under load during initial acceleration. Stay tuned for results...hopefully positive! I'm also ready to install my new slotted rotors and upgraded brake pads...more on that later! (also ready to install my new flanged headers and modify the existing sidepipes with the flange kit I purchased from Reg.)
With best regards,
Randy
BDR #98

After the diff bolt snapped, Jay from Vintage sent this too me. It made a definite differnce in the launch....the rear tended to squat more and leap forward. Very noticeable difference...for the positive!

Since I have an early BDR also, I might go ahead and get this just as a precaution, plus I have 315 MT's on the back
