The 4:1 gets me through the day Still not nearly enough from a guy who used to drive an FD3S in blizzards, lol.

I want the 4:1, but part of me wonders why I can't and/or shouldn't go with higher bias rear diff.

Default e46fanatics.com/switch... you just wasted a wish by the way. You would have wished for world peace

or any car or anything you wanted and you wished for a button to make your car RWD. <shakes head>

Default Nah, I want an AWD car that can be 100% RWD when the time is right a la 997TT.

I have an infinite number of wishes. This is just the only one I am sharing with a S4 forum. ;-)

Default I'd put it to use even when I wasn't tracking it. I love swinging the *** end out on RWD cars.

I would love to hear some discussion on why people don't go with the higher bias offerings (assuming they exist)...

What are the disadvantages? Is 5:1 the most aggressive offering at this time?

Biggest disadvantage = chewing rear diffs/mounts at an alarming rate!

Default Why would you want to do that? The only reason I have an S4 is for the AWD.

If I wanted an RWD, would have an M3 or 911.
