You get the new beefed up front arms in the pack too, geometry is the same though as there isn't anything to gain by this mod on the front end.
How does it work? If you look at the change in shock inclination of the rear shocks as you move the wheel through the normal working range (put the car at full weight on the desk and roll it side-side to see) you will see a significant change as it gets into the the latter part of roll. This increasing inclination is effectively changing the damping / springing relationship toward less-damped, which can enourage the car to roll even more. This is why when it gets slippery you move the shock tops in as I am sure you know.
With the LAW43 fitted this change in damper inclination during roll is less so the car "sits" on it's rear damping more, limiting the roll and the resultant weight transfer across the chassis which in turns allows you to carry more speed through the turn and should allow you to get on the gas earlier too.
There is a slight increase in the amount of shock inclination change near full droop but in the direction that will make the car absorb big landings better (although this is slight) so actually it is a win-win mod.
Not saying it's a must have, the stock FS2 / FS2-sp is a super nice chassis to start with ... consider this the cherry on the top of an already lovely cake
