When I see XV Motorsports saying they can get you 1G with what is an optimized stock suspension, I wonder if there is really any benefit to these parts. Can any of the g machine guys comment on this?

I'd be interested to see an installed Hotchkis UCA to understand the changes made. The big change is the anti dive. It will change bump steer some. To get the bump steer right you have to put each individual car on bump steer gauge, measure, and then adjust and fine tune with .010 shims.
