Aside from the added composure of the rear end over irregular road surfaces, braking, and direction changes (it now feels as planted as if not more than my S2000), the thing just DIGS coming out of the corners. I know some of this is thanks in part to the super awesome Pilot Super Sports, but you can really feel the rear end articulating and just digging into the pavement. Gobs of forward bite. I can nearly get WOT in 2nd gear and still keep hooked up. And this is on corner exit, mind you.

I need to get the fronts situated so I can get everything dialed in. I am very low on free time for the next few weeks so I am going to give my local Mustang shop a call in the morning to see if they can take the car in this week to finish up the front and double-check my installation of the Watts link. I am sure they can get it perfectly aligned. Then I'll let things settle out and bring the car back the following week for an alignment.
Sounds awesome. Just for fun, I have my Koni's set to two turns. It's a bit harsh but works great autocrossing. I intend to play around some more for my around town driving.

Everything is on the car and sorted. I'm set to -1.5 degrees left and right. Currently have front and rear Konis at one turn from full soft. Watts Link is set to the middle position.

My only real descriptor of performance at the moment is:
