The mod I have tried also pushes the wishbones further forward.
Basically you dremel 3mm off the old front of the wishbone. Flip it over and then add 3mm extra of spacers to the back.

You can of course then move the wishbone around in the inner pivots much more.

The main benefit is that you get more drive forward under power on slippery tracks. It's due to the drive shafts being swept forward.

You also have to lengthen the rear shock by 1.5 Turns on the ball end to get the same droop as you had before.

When I tried it on really high bite tracks, I found it made the car too unstable almost like it was fighting itself by having too much grip.

There is an advantage to be had, but it's knowing when you can use it. Like my dad said I tried it a Durham indoor Regional and didn't find it to my liking. I gave it 2 runs (Made some changes between) and couldn't quite get the balance right.
