Well, I do not know for certain, but I suspect, that there are far fewer F23 conversions, than F35. Economy of scale.

That said, I am curious if there is a technical reason as well.

Could be the differences in how they're built or the demand.

quaife supplies gm with the limited slip in the f35, so when they brought it onto the market for retail, all the r&d was done, they had a product ready to go so it makes it cheaper for them to sell to the retail public. for the f23, it costs quaife a lot more to produce as they are selling as many of them because they are not going to a car manufacturor, just to the retail public.

its the same deal with the srt4 quaife diff, its cheap.

Bingo! There's your answer. (Marketing 101)

All joking a side, thanks Sharkey for your reply. I was curious as well.

Its because they know that you spent less on your car and therefore have a larger modding budget\
