Kyle, James, and John: Thanks for your input! Your arguments make a lot of sense. I learned a lot from them.
Looks like I will be adding a stiffer Front Sway Bar in the near term, and stiffer springs and better dampers in the longer term (2015) due to limited budget.
The LSD has made a dent in my 2014 budget, and consumables are not negligible either (tires and brake pads).
One more question - do you think that soft sidewalls of the RE-11's might contribute to the rolling and outside edge wear that Im getting? Would the Dunlop Direzza ZII tires be any better on stock style 261 RIMS (7.5x18f & 8.5x18r which weight 26Lbs)? Not ready to buy aftermarket wheels yet, unless I find used ones that are worthwhile (wider, correct offset, and lighter than the 261's). I did come across some old school style 68 (7.5x17f & 8.5x17r 20Lbs) for $350CAD, but would face the same challenge fitting wider rubber.
