After some more playing and testing, i've found that: -
25% increase in mid corner speed,
40% increase in braking in speed,
65% increase in corner out speed,

200% increase in stability, (at 200kph,)
Up to 10% fuel savings, ($5-$10 per week,)

Ok, the stability is much improved at high speeds, previously the car was loose at 160kph and above. But now with with the upgrade the car hit 200kph without feeling loose at all until I backed off around the 205/210 mark.

Fuel consumption is also down, was getting around 550-575km per 45 litres. Now getting 600-625km per 45 litres. Due to the effortless excelleration and lower drag I would be assuming. At least I'm saving fuel!
