Yup, indeed. Sometimes I can make small adjustments in stock and my car feels a little different, but not that much. I doesn't make me more consistent or very. If I do the same adjustment in mod, the difference is way bigger imo.

I find that the transition between ~75% and near full lock is quite harsch and that makes my rear breaking lose. I think it's because of the binding that occurs on the front shafts. I don't have this issue in stock and a very little bit in stock. I don't need as much steering in (super)stock as in mod and if I reduce my dual rate to 93% that effect is almost completely gone.

Anyway, too bad no one has a pair to test so I'll probably end up buying a pair. Not sure if I'd go with the Xray ones or the Spec R V2's?
