I'm using a 3.27 lsd rear diff... i thought the E320's had 2.37 or something really low?

FWIW...just installed a new motor in a Acura that had a low mounted cold air induction system.....he drove through a 6 inch puddle !

Be careful.....get a bulge installed just up from the filter, it prevents road water from being vacuumed into the motor.
Thanks for the tip.... the strut bar and Camber plates were made by MRP (Danny) he no longer makes parts though

the car was about 2880 lbs stock... i don't know now, i will find out though... not sure if there's a whole lot more weight on the front (it didn't lower it much if anymore) i'm using FK lowering springs for the 2.6 with bilstein sport struts/shocks
