Like Darth Vader said (may the force be with you), you get more steering. It is best used when you have a high speed sweeper as the cornering speed increases because of the less Ackerman.
Several of us changed them out at the winter nats, so not too much time to evaluate. My feeling was I got a significant increase in steering, not only on turn in but mid-sweeper, and in the infield. However, the car was twitchy. This was reduced by reducing the width of the front tires, but it never completely got comfortable. The least move from dead center and the car was right on it. I constantly felt like I'd like "a longer lever handle". I have driven it several times since, and my opinion has not changed. So I'm switching back to the original to compare them again.

Come on Mark, hop on this , I know your were involved with cutting down the front tires,etc. How did you feel?
