There was a HUGE change in handling balance. Pre-updates the car was fairly balanced with a tendency to under-steer slightly and drive off the back tires. With the wider front tires and weight reduction with the same suspension setup the car was almost uncontrollably loose. We expected this to an extent but without time to test we were caught quite off guard at OUSCI by just how off the previous setup was with all the changes.
This really hurt our result in Vegas but since then we have really been able to dial in the new setup with help from JJ at Ultimate Performance and it is now leaps and bounds better than ever so the changes were definitely worth the effort.
The RS doors do still operate with the Anvil front end. We have been using the DSE electric headlight door conversion for years and just transferred it all over. We have been really happy with the Anvil stuff so far, surprisingly good fit with very little modification needed. Just a heads up though I have heard the carbon Anvil stuff fits better than their fiberglass versions for some reason.
