Increase in castor angle at front
Discussion
Pros and cons?
Moving the front wheel forward leads to:
More camber on turn in = higher cornering speeds
Less static camber = more straight line grip.
Heavier steering.
Given that modern assisted steering is often a bit too light (ok a bit of a generalisation!) it seems like a win-win situation, what say you? What have I missed? Downsides?

Increasing castor makes the steering self centre more strongly and gives you more negative camber when the wheels are't straight. It also makes the car more stable and gives the steering less "clarity".
A modified rack orifice/spring assembly is also an option to consider though it's probably more involved and harder to reverse. Maybe try it on a spare rack?
