So who's running regular or stiffest setting, difference?
Going stiff is my plan, why not try and get the rear around more...

Or as my mechanically jokingly put it...the loose control and go in the ditch setting...kidding, you'd have to drive the hell out of this car to get it loose when dry, wet another story, but still with the TC and PSS's it's damn stable.
Just to deviate; has anyone noticed their TC come on when cornering hard, and does it cut power along with braking the spinning wheel? I know it cuts power when spinning tires from a stop...
Stiffest. Not so sure it makes much difference, due to the angle of the drop links.....and 2600lbs hanging over the front!
Yes, sure have. Cuts power at a hint of lateral slip. Annoying! My B6 S4 would have to be in a moderate slide before cutting in.
-- Can the ESP be recalibrated?--

Sounds about right for the sway. Interesting about the power cut, I'll have to give it a try!, seems like it would almost be prohibitive and cause loss of traction by cutting power, you could loose grab, hmmm.

Stiffy and I like it with the KW's- its' a beautiful thing for da heavy pig...
Calibrate ESP??- Heck yeah- Turn it off!

MaxRS6, you're back!
I like your advice, sounds fun....I've turned it off when wet and spun tires through second from a stop, was entertaining...

Seems progressive...but haven't pushed it too too hard.
Theres a long delay before it recoups in allowing higher engine loads.
--hwy 58 east to I5 north is a smooth, tight and wide U turn to try it on.
maybe ESP off to try one of Jezza's "lurid" slides next time!

These work excellent...finally got a chance to take a few highway sweepers where I normally get bad roll at 60....went around 70-80 and nice and level, control of the car felt much better!
