had to take a shims off from the steering rack.
prior had 4mm on the rack (standard knuckles).
now have 1 mm on the rack (Xray Knuckles)

I am trying to get a bit more steering out of the car.
overall the car is very easy to drive
but need more snap into a turn without losing predictability.

2. front pivot blocks.
what is the effect of changing the front pivot blocks? low number versus higher number.

any help would be appreciated.
Try Tamiya knuckles with 2mm ackerman, this is what works best for us down under. We generally always use 1.5 susp mounts ff and fr and steering is pretty damn good.
