I've got an alta 19mm rear unit and an otherwise stock suspension, I haven't taken it to the track yet, but on spirited back roads and freeway onramps is where I noticed the biggest difference. I've got it set to the middle hole (of the three) and while there isn't much difference in normal driving (read- a streetable upgrade) aproaching the limits is where things start to fall into place:

-Turn in is improved, the car now feels that it wants to attack the corners a little more without feeling unstable.

-Understeer is reduced, in long sweepers you just point the wheel where you want to go, and modulate yaw with your right foot, with an even aplication of throttle at the limits, it feels like it corrects itself, if it front end washes out for a split second, a moment later, the back end catches up.

-On dirt roads, geting the back end out just enough is a lot easier.

probably the only downsides are that now:

-on driveways with steep approach angles and a diagonal entry, the inside tire will usually lift

and

-I feel more suspension roll from the front, suggesting that my car wants a nice set of coilovers, or at least some lowering springs, which I can't do because of gnarly speedbumps said driveway ;p
