The RS1s are well worth the money. You articulated it far better than I could.
My problem now is that my VLSD seems to be completely shot now and I'm trashing my outside rear tire. I thought I was being light enough with the throttle on exit to not spin it but I corded the inside of my right rear yesterday.
I should have softened the rear up a bit when I first started feeling it but I thought I was driving around it.
