Looking for some kind sould to explain to me why this would be so. Wouldnt placing all the shims on the outside increase front track-width and thus make the car less reactive to steering response?

Sam
When you do that you need to reset the track width back to where it should be.
I cant say why you get more turn-in though, need an expert to explain that.

Oh, and just ask the questions, somebody will always answer.
