Erm, hard to say really, the car just felt a little more stable all round. Steering seemed to have a little more feel some how and felt more composed at higher speeds.
Didnt really want to push it too much into the corners incase the brakes failed due to the relocation of the brake fluid reservoir but I will keep you posted!
