There are two more things that lowering the front droop in a mini does : One it lowers the CG when cornering hard and two it gives the Car more responsiveness all around... They might not seem much, but they can make a huge difference entering turns without traction rolling and holding the Racing line better from beginning to end.... It will also allow you not to use any brakes entering the corner, leading to the conservation of momentum throughout the race... I actually have to add some throttle trim to my mini m03, so it can keep going faster when I coast in the turns. No more jerkiness, and no need for a spool like diff in front ....
