I'm curious why you think a thread that discusses the pros and cons of the various front suspension alternatives and the relative cost of each is not "good info." We've seen threads that go on at length what it takes to be a "real P-T" car, but this one is useless?
XcYZ makes a good point that for plumbing dual turbos, rear steer can be a problem. I hadn't considered that because I hadn't thought about doing dual turbos. For the most part this thread has been a respectful exploration about what can be done to our cars and why it's done. No one is really debating the what, the debate rages about the why. If someone out there is considering an aftermarket sub because he or she thinks that's the only way to get good handling, then this thread is useful.

Somehow I don't think my G'modded, delrin bushed, Hotchkis sprung and swayed, fast steering box equipped stock subframed front end handles "like either a shopping cart or a tour bus."

No, I was responding to a series of posters in this thread that seem to imply that if you don't entirely replace the stock sub, you can't get your car to handle well.
I don't particularly have a dog in this fight. I've got a modded stock subframe in my current driver, and I have a 21st Century sub ready to go into my second car. But I recognize that, putting aside other factors, including bling, the performance gains I'll likely get with the 21st Century sub probably won't dazzle me as compared to the modded stock sub.
