My setup is now in the spread sheet that 762 created. I encourage everyone else to do the same.
On R-S3 tire pressure I used to run 38F/36R. Based on skid pad testing the temperature in the center of the tread was elevated compared to the outside and inside edges. I reduced pressure 2 lbs all the way around and achieved event temps across the tread and went about 0.5 seconds faster around a skid pad with 75 ft radius. I have been running these pressures since May and they have worked well regardless of how fast the course is.

Cusco (http://www.cusco.co.jp/en/catalog/cu...rs_typemz.html) - Max Hayter took this diff to 5th in STR this year.
Carbonetics (http://carbonlsd.com/) - Heard the carbon diff works well on AWD cars.

Since this OS Giken fiasco, I've been looking at LSD alternatives. Anybody have any knowledge on these options? Any other clutch-type options I haven't listed?
