Advanced Street - These specs are designed to give an even quicker steering response with minimum tire wear. If the car is "darty", toe the car in. By toeing in, you may loose some turn-in qualities gained by the initial specs.

Some of the reason behind the larger front spoilers on late model C3s was to increase the aerodynamics for increased mileage. The larger front spoiler makes the car easier to push through the air by getting the tire out of the flow of air and routing the turbulent air around it.

Dog, that 80-82 front bumper is ugly. Makes the car look like it has a bad underbite. If you really want something to fill that space up, get a Pace Car-style front spoiler (I think that still messes up the lines, but at least it doesn't jut out in a weird way).

so to do at least a Jeep recirculating ball box changeout, OR a rack install to correct the issue....no other choice...
