Hi,

yeah, it's to give you more steering lock on the outside wheel, and it's definitely an improvement. You might find that it gives too much on some tracks, such as high grip astro, but i always ran it on my xxx4

I used to do carbon ones, extensions to the arms and a shorter drag link with pickup in centre.

If you have an old nackerd carbon fibre shock tower and a dremel there easy enough to make really. I may have some in my spares lot i could send you if you want. They arent the origional ones that Dan Greenwood was selling but they dont look far off to be honest...
