OK, OP is asking about daily driving a car on untreated surfaces (not drag strip) with (I assume) street tires on stock power and a factory 10-bolt. NO need to do rear LCA's/girdle or any of that. If you don't race it/beat on it then there is no reason to believe it will break...You can run 500+ HP and still keep the stock 10-bolt as long as you just spin the tires. When you have high hp and grip, then things break.

Thanks to everyone that replied to the thread! My car hasn't seen the track and probably never will (almost no racetracks in Los Angeles area anyway). I have "spun" the tires hard maybe 2-3 times so far but it isn't a regular habit

Then leave it stock and spend the money someplace else. Longtubes/full exhaust and tune will keep you happy.

well some people have wheelhop like me with a stock A4 , then i added welded SFC's; LCA's, panhard & no wheelhop! since i've added TA & i have relos sitting in my garage. if your rear shakes , rattles & rolls when doing a burnout you have wheelhop. cheers.
