A lot of people recommend FLP's and Rodney's (Crashed 94).

I, too, am curious as to what is different/better between FLP's and Rodney's. I know that FLP's are vacuum modulated, and I think that Rodney's stays similar to stock being electronically modulated. (I better be quiet before my auto repair incompetence starts shining through.)

Also, DynoTech Engineering now has a differential strut for A4 trannys if you are really going to abuse your setup at the track.
