VSS: Tight tolerances, hard/std option for tuning or durability, width adjustable, less thread in parts that walk out and tweak, easy camber gain adjustment.
Both are good front ends. There's just more you can do with the VSS if you know what you're doing. And if you don't there's less to get wrong.
I know it'd be a learning curve for me to figure out the VSS, I guess my biggest question is does it generate more entry steering than the classic crc front end. On a small track I've seen the difference between my car and others that the entry in my crc is lacking. This is after yrs of owning and loving my crc. Now that I'm trying to elevate to compete with some of the faster folks I see where my car is lacking. I honestly don't want to leave crc for xray because all xray does is release a new $400 12th scale every yr and I'm not tryna start that money pit
