With no rear sway, I think the car is a bit unbalanced and after much deliberation, I think the 15mm rear is the right choice.

In the 3 or so autox events I have done with this 128, I can tell a diff would help but to what extent, I couldnt say. After the rear work, I'm looking at front camber and the M3 control arm kit and I think I will call it a day on handling at that point. At that point, I'll make an assessment but I seriously doubt a diff will make the cost/benefit cut. With 245/17 Star Specs or RS3s, I dont think putting the power down is a huge problem.
Fair call. Rsb will definatly help, they are shocking for front camber standard too.

Was the e92 fsb noticeable? Looking into that or an aftermarket set at the moment.
