No.
And the S5 LSD is actually weaker, in my experiences.

Uh, No...

The S5 cars have considerably more short cuts taken on production than the S4 or even S3 models.

Things like plastic end links on suspension members that shear, or lame plastic thermostat housings that tend to dissolve at 150K miles, or seat belts that are on a lifetime of the car recall are most certinly not more durable.

No.. they are the same, except the tranny which got only minor changes, none of which increased durability.
