Default bt: stasis 4:1

for those of you who have this 'mod'... have you noticed a substantial improvement in handling/cornering etc.? secondly, would you say it would be worth it for a car that never sees the track?<ul><li><a href="http://www.stasisengineering.com/Category_Detail.aspx?id=9&amp;YR=2001&amp;MK=Audi& amp;EN=51&amp;PID=98">http://www.stasisengineering.com/Category_Detail.aspx?id=9&amp;YR=2001&amp;MK=Audi& amp;EN=51&amp;PID=98</a</li></ul>

Default IMO one of the best 550 you can spend on this car. Really gets the rear to come around.

Rear sway and good (not just stiff) suspension are a mandatory compliment to the CD.

Default Oh, and I've yet to track my car, so yes it is great for the street.

Be aware of a slight grumbling on low speed u-turns...parking.

Default It is noticeable to me, but I'm hyper sensitive to car noises.

It only happens when you're doing a sharp low speed u-turn. It's not a big deal IMO, but Stasis does not admit that it is there. Basicly its the diff doing its thing. No odd noises during regular driving.

Default is it like a gears grinding sound???

i understand its difficult to describe a sound with words on the internet, but im just trying to see how bad it is, since i am a real stickler when it comes to noise/sound etc.

Default i love mine, its not noticable until you really start cornering hard

definetly helps with spirited driving, lets you use the rear wheels more. for 550 its a steal. I havent bit the bullet on the lsd yet but tempted

Default Its more of a growl, rocks in a bucket but very subdued. No big deal

as only VERY rarely do I do U turns. I think it's a non issue really. No more annoying than a stiff suspension. Get a ride in a car with one and see for yourself. I'm in So. Ca. if ya want to hear it.
