Thanks for the input. I think I'll try a 14mm 924 rear SB as this seems like a low-buck option to try first. I was really surprised, it's fairly close to neutral with this weight, hp, front suspension, tire combo and I don't want to overshoot the mark. If I increase the hp significantly and or put a LSD in I'll have to reassess.

I had a Golf years ago I put Neuspeed heavy SBs on, it had manual steering and a LSD and a 1.8 head/2.0 block engine. It was a handful and I really didn't like the way it handled, the SBs were so stiff without power steering the car would want to 'set' back to middle--much less entering or exiting a hard turn with some good throttle was a lot to deal with.
