The next point is that you will move the ratio in your gearbox pcm too,in the other way the ABS/ESP get a different rpm from wheel sensors and your ABS/ESP doesn´t work all time long.
In the attachment you will find picture from CLK 55 AMG W208 diff.
regards V8Max
things i see immediatly are you will need axles. the slip in axles from the xfire wont work. add to this with the m/b axles they use a c clip and when installing a quaiffe or wavetrac you cant use that typr of retainer so a circlip has to be found. this is what has been slowing the wavetrac buy down was finding proper circlips for the slk32. the axles from the m/b will need to be machined slightly to receive the new circlips.
add the cost of the diff ,axles and quaiffe and it gonna get costly.
max have you investigated whether the quaiffe from the 208 diff will fit in the slk /xfire diff?
