except for the ackerman and shock oil

and finally you have to remember the rear block controls the rear toe-angle which i think will be a governing effect over arm sweep.
(1) Thanks, I've double checked and incorporated the corrections:
-- more rear roll (rear shock sus arm position > Hara=2, Mine=3 )
-- less damping in rear shocks (oil adjustment > Hara=40, Mine=30)
-- less progressive effect on front swaybar (gap adjustment > Hara=2.5, Mine=1.0)
-- more weight over rear (shifting rear arms via hub shims > Hara=1.0+0.7, Mine=0.75+2.0)
-- bit lower rear RC (top shims adjustment > Hara=1.0, Mine=2.0)
-- front arm sweep (pivot block > Hara=1.0, Mine=1.5)
-- rear arm sweep (pivot block > Hara=3.0, Mine=2.5)
-- less rear end flex (middle deck state > Hara=cut, Mine=solid)

(2) Based on the corrections, my original question is now a bit mute.

(3) The setup I am currently using has turned out significantly better than the kit setup.
I'll check out the link, and do some analysis / comparisons.

Thanks
