The higher "CG" is just a product of technological, design advancements made by others companies who have released new kits since the Pro 4's
2+ year old release date.
the shaft is flawed in designing the steering, if you constrain yourself to using pro4 knuckles.
as the shaft sits in the pro4 its still too low to get a steering system that is even close to the xray/cyclone style. then if you lower the shaft even more (for cg) then you would have to make the steering system sit above the shaft, and thats not possible with the pro4 knuckles.
so thats a major design consideration in continuing with a shaft drive car.
Dont get me wrong, i'd like my pro4 to have lower cg, and be a new car!!!! shaft drive IS nice for stock
