Nice one !
Since the rebuilt I've used mine a lot.
I would advise anyone running one to try a different front end at least once.
Let me explain: Most of us buildt it with a WC front end. This front end got the longer wishbones and shortest hinge pins holder. On the other hand original RB5 got the widest holder and shorter wishbones. SP in between and RB6 block may be of use too, a little wider than the WC.
To summarize what I felt, a shorter block with the same wheelbase (or almost) will be more agressive than a larger one.
Broke a WC 'bone, changed the whole front to RB5 and liked it a lot. It felt easier overall and more stable/less brutal. A bit less steering on tight section where the DB looks like a 1/12th turning but not much and was easier on power and on high speed corners entry. I have to work more on it and compare but it might be a nice setup tool to ease the car yet kept all its properties.
For grippy fingers like mine it might help when the car will be too on the edge without a huge setup change.
The chassis did rolled more side to side but safely and it was the longer block one. SP2 might a good in between choice (RB6+SP 'bones too).
On high grip dry astro I would maybe still use the WC.
