As i said before not for the squeamish.
Tight low speed sharp turns , its a booger but it can be done.
Parallel parking, its a booger but caan be done.
High speed operatiion in excess of 240 kph on good curved Abahn, not a problem when dry.

On demand throttle over steer , not a problem in the wet or the dry!

Steady state slow driving around the tight traffic circles , not a problem if you like a bucking bronc. In the wet is okay. For the dry you gotta disengage the clutch to relieve the torque in the differential or, you can throttle oversteer through the circle. ( note must get more lessons fom JeeJee and Stef on this)

I already forsee some problems in some tight slaloms.
That is all.

Roy,
There won't be problems......just with keeping rear tires on it :shock: The tight courses are always killers........

Roy,

Can't you sort of adjust the point where it engages , with using softer springs in it to some extend ?

yes you can , but a stiffer spring is better for asphalt.
Softer spring for dirt .

I had a softer spring installed, everything seemed good until you lift throttle, car tends to go to the right . It is very unerving . Only happens from around 60 to 130 kph.
