The R200 differentials are probably superior in construction to the Mercedes units in our cars. Unfortunately. These diffs came from a time where money was no object (think late 80's and early 90's...the Gordon Gekko years.) Our diffs unfortunately came from a time of great cost-cutting at Mercedes.
