Your accusations have no valid basis. The "twitchyness" in the car of a few (?) persons out of over 3000 is not due to suspension design. It is more likely due to alignment, choice of tires or wheel offset. Although you can deviate from the original specs on the car, you still have to know what the consequences will be if you do. If you don't understand the consequences, you need to seek the help of a professional that does. There are many who have done that. Not a big deal.

The car in the video ran well before suspension modifications, but of course runs faster now. One of the beauties of FFR's is that you can really modify them to be exactly what you want. An autocross champion is one choice.

It is a strong point with FFR's that there is such a large amount of information available on the car. You have some very professional shops that are glad to help home builders, even if they are not paid for it. You also have the best one-make forum anywhere, bar none, available. This is where neophytes go with their concerns and get help. You have never seen a post from a knowedgeable builder complain about "twitchyness" and suggesting 4-wheel drive steering stabilizers.

There are no positives gained by you continuing to offer such poor conclusions.
