Yes, both the PSM & ABS work just as well in RWD as they do in AWD (speaking from my experience).

Taking out the drive shalf, front differential, and front sub axels you'll save about 100 lbs in weight. The car will feel more nimble and the steering & response will be more crisp.

It's about 4 hours of labor and no additional parts need to be purchased...see the link to my thread which discusses the conversion in more detail...

The nice thing is that it is totally reversible.

I dont know how much it is, I know you need one though, you can spin very easily without it, I snap oversteered off the track with PSM on.

But the turning ablity is much improved.


My diet is going to go full fledge soon, I am deciding on racing seats, a battery and LWFW now.
