Now, now, there'll be none of that. LOL

Does the stock kit use bearings in the steering bell cranks or does it use something like the step screws in the M-05?

must be either bearing or brass bushing. The hole is too big for step screw.

The M-07 will be available WORLDWIDE on June 25.

See the gearing for the car in the attached image.

5.77 vs 5.79? That's a 0.34% change. Minuscule! Close enough! Dirty bearings or worn tires will make more of a difference.

Thanks for the update.

On a FWD car notorious for wheelspin? Not likely.

Dude, 0.34%. Less than 1/2 of 1%. Less paint will make a bigger difference. Farting at your car as it passes will have more of an effect. The confidence gained by a really good haircut will gain you more time than this.
