Are you doing all of this to make your car faster on the track? Are you concerned that if you break any of your modified/custom parts that your car will be out of commission until you can make new ones? Trading durability and ease of maintenance for maybe a little better handling seems like a step sideways at best if you are running the car on track. If you are not running on a track, it seems like a step backwards in terms of what you would want out of a basher car (durability and ease of maintenance).
I guess all that matters is that you are having fun.
There is a small amount of bump steer, but I arranged it through trial and error to have the least. I don't think I will break the chassis or top plate, I'm on the fence about the aluminum because it's low grade, I will let you guys know if anything breaks. It is still very easy to work on, the whole front assembly comes off with 5 bolts and the rear 8, its actually a little easier than stock because of the rear tower has easier to access bolts. I am leaning more towards performance, I don't hard bash much at all, I'm more about hitting the jumps and having fun with driving. I am going to start buying spring kits and oil to hopefully start tuning the suspension better.
