I hear ya brother.

I think you'll change it when you find out how snappy it is. But could drift a lot. I know you'll love that so might be worth the hassle free rear end.

I'm measuring up a haldex rear axle this week to see how hard it would be to mount so will let you know when i've done that which axle i'm going to run :) never driven a live rear beam so couldn't really comment haha!

I should really get the camera out, more iPhone flicks!

Quite happy with today, me and Joerg got the top mounts chopped out for maximum caster and camber adjustability (not running that awful blue anodized sh!t) also offered the Quattro rear subframe / diff up to see how easy it would be to mount.. not that hard it seems, so i am going that route instead of a live rear beam :)
