You dont need a new variator. Its just a good investment upgrade. The aftermarket variators are usually larger in diameter and allow for higher belt travel than the stock variators do. The ramps in them are usually different angles too from what i have seen in my stock variator and these 2. The DR2 has 2 different angles which allows you to use a lighter weight to adjust your low end, and a heavier weight toadjust your top end speed. Either one is a good investment. Some people stick with the stock variator and are happy with their results. Others like myself see better results with the performance variators. Its all preferenece. I prefer an upgraded variator and wouldnt use my stock unless i was just on a tight budget.
