I think that was all that was changed. Don't have the new shock shafts yet, but already have the new pistons installed. The UJ's should make the car nicer to run.

The type B pistons are just pre drilled in 2 or 3 holes. Honestly, using the single or dual taper white machined pistons are better and smoother. I just wished they made taper machine blanks instead of just the 4,5,and 6 holes. But you can just as easily redrill, and seal them up
Going from 17 to 19 degrees hubs is going to reduce low speed over steer and make the car easier to handle on bumps. Moving to 21 would be better on bumpy fast flowing tracks. For small technical indoors, you might need as much low speed steering as possible so the stock 17 would be fine.
As for the dual slipper, it just allows you to put the power down smoother on low bite and bumpy tracks.
The thing is there is also UJoints for the front and rear side transmissions. Its not a standard part in the v4 either. It would help free up the drivetrain on high bite conditions, and also allowing better movement on bumpy tracks. However, it the standard CVDs have more drive train bind which yields more grip on low bite conditions.
