Wow, definitely a different way to get the balance:
- Higher roll centers (3 vs. my 1 to 1.5 shims) and geometry (inboard toe 0 front and 2 rear vs. my 1.5-2.5 front and 3 rear) should make the car a little more twitchy and corner flatter
- Slower damping (5-10W higher than mine), 1 rate softer springs, longer rear upper link and ackerman (3mm vs my 4) should then smoothen out the car and give back some mid corner roll.

In the end, it might balance out to something similar to what I'm running. But it's the first setup that's quite different from everything else I've seen.
