RWD is much more precise with turn in track out trail braking and the overall feel of the car is nimbler and more "race like"

Did you notice any appreciable difference in being able to get the power down coming out of corners?

+1 -- these are excellent suggestions, although it appears to be too late We REM treat just about all of our gbx internals.
