2WD conversions....
My car on the stiffer ROW suspension was HORRIBLE, talk about "wallow"

In that case I'll take a two-hump camel.
I was bored so I looked it up: http://www.thehatchreport.com/inform...-two-hump.html
"The actual math equation is closer to this: one-hump camel + two-hump camel=a camel with one really large hump."

I also was curious about cornering. I don't like the way the car shifts in mid corner in the 4wd mod.

911s require a different driving technique due to rear weight bias. The best way to describe this is slow in, fast out. Even with modern suspension design, and gigantic rear tires, these cars will tend to roll the tire sidewall and want to spin mid corner if you get off the gas too quickly and upset the chassis.
To minimize this, you want to really inflate the rear tires. I run 36 PSI front and 40 PSI rear. My pump at home can't inflate past 40 PSI, but I want to try 44 PSI rear. You will feel the difference in handling with more pressure helping to keep the sidewall from rolling under the rim.

If you are in cold or wet climate, and don't have good car control skills, I'd leave it alone, unless you you don't drive in those conditions and you're willing to put some NT-01's or other R-comp/DR type of tire on the car to drive around on. Normal street tires will not contain the type of power you have.
For the road course it would take a ton of additional mods to make it worth while. And even then the rear diff is not the same as a GT2 one, it's made to be AWD. I personally think you'll eat third gear over and over again, I felt that same shifting and additional power application (grinding feel) when in RWD.

My car has recently become a RWD car. It is USELESS on street tires. I usually only put drag radials on for the track. If I left it RWD, I would need DR's ALL the time. I plan to put a Dif back in for the winter.
