Front suspension settings and upgrades

Following on from Ross racing this weekend thread, I’ll start by saying my RF isn’t on the road yet. So the changes I’ve made are not proven yet.
I would like to hear from owners that have made changes / upgrades to their front suspension, Ross, Tim, Chris, hint hint : )

My modes so far:
Reduced bump steer to 0.011” over 4” of travel
Increased Ackerman (moved rack rearwards by ~2”)
Replaced lower inner pivot bushes with press in spherical ball joints
Raised rack ~2.5” (to clear my feet) by fitting the tie rod ends on top of the arm
Changed rack and its length (for bump steer, used TE/TF Cortina)
Rolled rack to get pinion higher (again for foot room)
Fitted higher angle universal joints from std

Regards

Clayton
