Is that you, Chris?
Yes, in combination with the lower brace (visible on avatar) it allows the dampers to work better. Ride improves, which is also good for handling on bumpy bends. Front is now very secure, so one can concentrate on steering the rear with the right pedal better.
I was hoping for a bigger improvement is steering feel. But I now believe that is a corollary of inertia in the rack motor and the centre-point steering axis geometry.

(I was referring to my inability to see any more what I am typing in this tiny quick-post font! - I think it's middle-age and computer abuse taking its toll).

Now you're taking the piss right?
Centre-point and negative offset geometry gives good stability under extreme braking and in slippery conditions, but at some cost in steering feel. Maybe those using reduced wheel offsets experience better steering feel at some cost in stability!
