Feel free to drop some knowledge on me: how much work do we need to be viable and current on the race track? Are those new Ground Control kits all that is needed? Or are you talking about re engineering the entire underpinnings of the car?
The Ground Control kits would certainly improve the handling if set up correctly. But, you will never get around the circulating ball steering. You can only help it, but not replace it. We have a very short wheel base and a very stiff body, so there is only so much you can do...but the kit would help and you can lower the center of gravity and get that low stance everyone likes...including me, but I like to keep the tires balanced and tracking true....not a lot of camber showing...lol.
