Car was much better, and a lot more predictable. I would also add a touch more front droop, as the car was a little loose coming out of the corner - not much, but enough that you had to be paying attention when you got on the throttle.

Update: this is the setup I was referring to. I stuck with the kit shocks, since I wasn't sure a) what they are in the scale of HB shocks (pinks, silver, gold, etc), and how they compared to the Yomoko Shocks. I know there's charts online to compare them, but I haven't got there yet...
I found the kit setup twitch as well. I made a few changes that seemed to work well (raised the front ride height a smidge and slapped a softer rear tire on than what I had prior), but I think I'm gonna give Fred's setup a try. Thanks for posting.
