Don, I just drove it several blocks, and it was an entirely different car to drive. I drove it hands off the wheel, and it didn't wander a bit. Easier to turn and steer. I didn't get a chance to test it at speed, though. I do think the steering box is set a bit tight. I'm running Nankang CX669 tire in 165/80R15. I may take you up on the offer after I get a chance for a bit more testing. I'll PM you then.
