This way you can adjust your alignment and get ride of the crappy factory diff. This and seat time will improve your lap times with least amount of money spent.
No point of beating a dead horse, control arms were already suggested, an LSD is an age old recommendation as of now, it's a matter of cost and total usage. Several people have gotten away with using the factory differential at the track including myself with several cars. Of course there is a limitation, but adding a new one comes with increased complexities in both drive-ability and wear. In most cases using the standard setup up first at the track with different tires gives one a better base line for expectations and measurements against mechanical and geometrical changes.

I don't know what your problem is but you can stow it as far as I am concerned. Stop following me around and attacking what I have to say.

Go back to the G37 forum where you belong.

The narcissism..... I made my comments here and anywhere else independent of anything you said. You are the one with the problem making vaguely argumentative remarks & authoritative suggestions without any form of clarification. I've been open minded to all of your negative banter since our first encounter, which i'll remind you that it was you that attacked me. Now you are just being hostile. If you don't like what i have to say then ignore me, or continue acting like a child. I can care less, at the very least go look up the definition of the word forum. You may get a broader understanding of how this chat system works.

You suggested alignment parts on the first page, now you are following up again with rather redundant information about spending thousands of dollars on suspension and drivetrain parts. I was merely giving other comparable suggestions that anyone can further use or ask questions about in greater detail.

MaysEffect,
Think part of the problem is we don't know what your background is. What experience you have. You seem like you have lots of tech knowledge on handling. Tell us about yourself will go a long way.

Rusty,
That's a logical standpoint, but see how you didn't have to tell me to go Fook a goat. I can understand my low post count, wordy replies and wrong car I.D is discerning, but that's no reason to be hostile.

I wasn't at all trying to make this about me. I just like sharing and debating good ideas. But i'm not gonna hijack OP's thread to get on a personal debate with anyone, certainly something not relevant to the original premise.

You guys already shared good info, i see no reason repeating the same stuff. I'm sure their were other things OP wanted to expand on, or in the case of a future reader looking at this thread.

Sorry if you took it the worry way. I was just asking a question on your background. I wasn't trying to be hostile at all. From reading your other posts. You seem to have real knowledge on suspension and handling. If I know your background, I have a better time understanding what you mean. Not many people know about a shock dyno. You, me and maybe 3 other people here may know. Would like to pick your brain on some stuff.


And if I told you to go f@ck a goat. You would know it.

I understand, i just wasn't trying to hijack this thread. I probably worded that last response a bit weird though, i wasn't talking about you being hostile, but spooler. I was using you as a good example of how to hold a conversation without telling someone they aren't welcome.
