    Congrats on the install! Looking at your engine mods, the FX300 was a bit of overkill unless you have some big future plans. I had that exact clutch on my turbo project R53 and even with 260wLb/Ft it clamped like nobody's business. Good to hear the Cusco diff works nicely, especially good to hear it helps in straight-line braking. You'll just have to get used to implementing turning off DSC in your pre-flight checklist!

    Considering the FX200 was the same price as the FX300 - I went with the 300 - primarily because of the future upgrade path.:D

    So is it the 1.5 way or 2 way LSD? It didn't add any under-steer or dampen the nimbleness? What is the weight of the clutchmasters flywheel? No chattering with any of this?

    It is a 1.5 Way LSD, there is some chattering with the flywheel but not enough to bother me.
