In short, I'd be better off spending money on the LSD vs new wheels, tires and camber arms? I'd really like to use the Wavetrac but that'll require swapping pumpkins out for an open diff pumpkin I believe. |
Looking at your angles I'm actually surprised there are that good for a .9/.7 drop mine oem height (maybe my springs sagged) were 1 deg front and 1.5 rear both neg of course and I haven't checked alignment since installing my powertrix but set the height only .25 lower than I was so not sure where I am at now but need to check soon. So a -1.3 and -1.6 isn't really bad, I'm surprised they wore so quick but I think the 0 toe didn't help as that is 0 static toe and factory wants some + toe so that could be that it becomes less when driving (dynamic toe) most fronts for rear drive will go to a less angle while driving.
As for traction I have oem size with potenza so4 tires, 7at, stock vlsd, ecutek and I can't say I have a whole lot of issue with wheel spin, granted I don't really drag race but in turn exit etc it hasn't been bad. Maybe not the best way but if you did an ecutek tune you can use the racerom traction control to help control wheel slip, cost a lot less then a diff and you'll want it don't eventually anyway.
