I've tried the RE11As twice this year - once on an STR S2000 and once on an RTR MX5. In both instances, they were *terrible*.

On the STR car, back to back with the RS3, the RE11A was 1.5 slower on...

I am still working on an update. The TLDR of Nationals for me was that the car was awesome, but the pressure and anxiety of day 2 did me in.

More details to come.

KW V3 is the best bang-for-the-buck shock I know of. I've driven and owned many cars with MCS/Moton/Ohlins/AST and the KWs are about 90% as capable for 50% of the cost. Konis are generally similar...

You sort of answered your own question - it's the diff bushings. They add a LOT of noise for not a whole lot of benefit. If you take the rear bushings out, it should go back to "normal".
