I do have a limited slip diff and a 6-speed manual, which is why the grip comes into play. You can steer it around with the throttle.

Another reason is that I put 6-piston Brembos on the front. I've had to use every bit of that initial bite in holiday traffic. Other drivers suck.

Ah, so you do see increased grip from the 19" wheels? Interesting. Good to know, since I'm pretty unlikely to downgrade to reduce grip, that puts the kibosh on the change to 18" wheels.

I'd like a limited slip rear. (torsen-style, not clutch based) I liked the behavior of the miatas with LSD vs open.

Really, you upgraded the brakes. I wouldn't have thought it was needed. I thought Boxsters were supposed to be a benchmark for brakes.

My brakes are good, but I preferred the brakes in my old '88 911. I like a nice hard pedal with not a lot of travel. I feel like the boxster has too much travel.
