Gotta make the 123 a LSD first, then you can add the spring block to increase lockup if desired. Converting the normal 3.07 W123 diff to limited-slip is straightforward, you just use the 190E-16 LSD internals and bolt it together. For 2.88 gears you get a 1985 300D diff, and bolt in the LSD from a 1995 E300 with ASD. Same idea, just different ratios involved. You'll still need to refresh the clutch packs along the way... plan on at least $750 for the project.

I don't think the spring blocks are available anymore, though... pretty sure he sold out the batch which was created. Dunno if he'll make any more, either.
