gawd, why must you tempt me. I can immediately tell from the video compared to my videos that this thing definitely works. I see the front end refusing to slide to the outside and wanting to keep biting and stay to the inside. Perfect amount of overtsteer/rotation. Easily 2s on a 2min course. If i do this, car will be down at least a month probably. This thing will allow you to wot much earlier. The turn in even looks much better. No understeer on turn in.

nice review - big compiled thread here https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ound-here.html though I think the Tre is probably the best money for value option. I'm actually still waiting to get my cusco back from jon, wanted to add the hd side cover...

Added a quick cell pic of how it looked when I got it in the mail.

also forgot to mention that tire wear is a lot better.

I was going to have Robispec install my Whiteline RCA/Bumpsteer kit next but I may just skip that and do this now and get those installed later This past weekend at Buttonwillow was literally the first time my car was neutral at a track event, but some slip angle/oversteer would definitely be a nice touch

I have OEM Diaqueen in there now. After talking to Jon he recommends Red Line 80W140 GL-5 Gear Oil for more lock up

with the diaqueen it makes zero noise after the break in through

I just did that. Ran Diaqueen for about 500 miles then switched over to the Redline 80w-140 last weekend.

you should send him an e-mail and ask how is work load is right now.

it can vary. But he does have a core exchange option you can try.

IIRC, in the other thread ("Power oversteer found here") they mentioned the 80w140 vs Diaqueen resulted in a couple MPG loss.

Yep, definitely do the rear diff before you add swaybars.
