Peeps with adjustable struts/shocks, you make any adjustments for winter?

I was just speaking from what Ive notice of course im not out in the rain with my foot to the floor but the first week or 2 I had the car and I was learning how to drive it that became very apparent it was also the tires had a big role in that problem but I just find the open diff to be better in the rain, could just be me

Wait. When you drove with the open diff vs. with the VLSD, were there different tires?

In a way. The car drove more like how I would expect it to drive, having driven many other cars and thousands of hours of driving sims.

There's your biggest problem right there. Yes, you can further rip on an open diff'd car around corners, but you will get better performance and less wheelspin with an LSD, you will just need some self restraint.

my first week is when it became very apparent but its not like I still don't notice it now im use to it but if im not careful, ive gotten the auto down to wires showing on the tires, and it would still turn, its just a bit more reassuring that the car still turns thats probably the better way to put it
