Now to the questions:
1. What advantages do you see by adding a Quaife LSD?
My 300C SRT8 is daily driven in Seattle(rain country), sees the 1/4 mile on occasion, and after the SRT TE it will see a road course here and there. My biggest problem with the torque/brake diff is that when on wet roads, taking corners can be a trick.
2. Tires, Is there a substantial amount of performance to be gained by switching from RSAs to the F1s? I run RSAs and after 23K miles they feel a little greasy. If I switched to F1s for track use would the gain in traction make adding a Quaife overkill?
Thank you,
Ryan

1.) The Quaife will transfer torque to the outside wheel almost instantaneously.
2.) The F1s are sticker than the RS-A's. About 0.03g on the skidpad, 2 mph in the slalom, and WAY stickier in the rain. We went 6 seconds faster around a flooded autocross with full tread F1s compared to RS-As at Goodyear. The RS-A's are amazinly capable in the snow and F1s are helpless. Your choice. The Quaife is pricy, but works well regardless of tire.
