That's 1/3 the price of the car for a few bearings , links & arms
It depends on what your priority is. If you are in dire need of more traction for your set-up and track, then this is the fix. However if you're like me who have no problems with rear grip (actually too much) then its a wait and see.

I will say this though. Last time I ran at my track I used a 45rears with 40fronts in an effort to gain more steering because I didn't have 37fronts. The rear end popped out a bit on exit of the turns but was manageable. However, if I had the DLS system in the rear, that rear end would have been planted the whole time. I also had excellent tire wear at the end of the 20min main as a result of using the 45s.

So think of it this way, what you lose in the purchase of the DLS can be gained from the savings in tire wear. Eventually after several sets, it can pay for itself.
