Thanks.
it seems to be heavier oil(like a tight rear ball diff) will make the car to tend to push, and a lighter oil will make the car square off or rotate better.

I have not played with diff oils yet, but my next test day will be of 900cst, 2k, 3k, & more if needed.

I'm going to set my car up to understeer massively, and bring the car under control around corners with drag brake. Not the ideal solution to driving a TC, but seems this will be needed with this tail happy snaky rear end of the s411.....
