Stock Evo RS. It has taken cars to the 9's, probably 8's and I just didn't read about it.

The stock RS diff is nice too, but this all really depends on what you're doing with the car. Are you just daily driving it, drag racing it, road course/time attack? Here's a link to the WaveTrac's website. Even Quaife steered me towards them.

Are you suggesting I did "just" read about it? What's with all the e-thugs on here? Anyway, just because the RS is capable of being used in 9 and 8 second EVOs, certainly is A LOT different than being the reason WHY those cars went that fast. The RS diff certainly didn't TAKE those cars anywhere.

When I upgraded to the RS diff Shep said he wouldn't recommend it as you can break the stock RS case with under 400 HP pretty easily. Guys have also gone pretty fast on it though, so it's kind of a roll of the dice depending on how you drive the car.

As for driveability, the LSD is SOOOOO much better then an open front. With the open, if the car starts to wash out in the front, there isn't much you can do to get the car back on line. With the LSD, give it some throttle and the car tightens up the line. It's awesome.
