Default Paging: Those with 4:1 center diff...

What's the car act like with an existing suspension setup that's decently neutral to begin with. My only issues during autocross are (obviously) with corner exit. I'm VERY close to pulling the trigger on one of these units for my B5. Just about all my hard driving is autocross. Being that I recently picked up a class win running on street tires (in a DOT-R compound allowed class), I'm guessing the 4:1 will be like clubbing baby seals once I re-learn how to drive the car. I just need a little more peer pressure to go through with it. lol

Default It definitely helps. As the power goes on and more weight shifts to the back giving more traction...

And as the front lightens up, the Torque will be shifted rearwards and more power will go to the rear wheels. I think it is a no brainer.

Default The upgraded differential really works and I wish I had done it sooner.

I noticed it the most driving home in the rain after I got it installed at Matrix.

The car was flying on the highway as if the roads were dry.

When on the track the difference in cornering was huge.

My instructor who also drove an A4 Avant almost did a nose dive as he didn't expect the car to turn so fast.

For $550 it is one good mod for the money.
