i used the the small extra wing that you get to the rear wing on the XXX-CR in the front.
i just made a new brace with more angle.

It was about the size of Hupos and it gave lots of nice high speed stering

Subtle it is not, but I always want that little bit more on stagger rib fronts. Perhaps this is the answer?

yeah I know we've explained it to you, but didn't know if Dan did it the mod also.

we feel it pretty much everywhere to be honest, but it works best on worn astro like kampenhout. (that hair doens't move that much)

I did try it, also didn't feel much difference (any). I was always after that bit more steering in Belgium, car was super safe but not enough steering.
