TTT evolved knuckles?
Has anyone ran the Techno toy tuning evolved knuckles before? I have an mtheoryinc r&p setup in my car but I still feel like I'm lacking the speed of steering to not get lost in the wheel for autox. Can't make tight turns without shuffling my hands. Also curious about how it affects ackerman.
You should reach out to @MTheoryInc and discuss. He may have some ideas about solutions.

Alignment spec targets I recommend.
Caster: 5.0°-5.5° positive (minimum -- this is what gives you that solid on-center feel and return-to-center)
Toe: 0.05°-0.10° toe-in per side (a smidge of total toe-in keeps it stable)
Camber (autocross setup): -2.5° front
I tested a set of those knuckles back-to-back on the same car. Real-world result?
Zero measurable change in steering quickness and they negatively impacted the tie rod to control arm relationship with the outer tie-rod joint running out of articulation on big compressions.
Save your money and throw it at the Quaife ATB internals instead. Zero downside on the street, and it doesn't mess with your steering geometry.
Get it aligned with those numbers first -- 90 % of the "steering feels weird" disappear the second the caster and toe are right. Let me know what the sheet says when you're done!
First things first -- if you haven't put the car on an alignment rack yet (as you mentioned earlier), everything is going to feel off until you do.
