So can you describe the difference?  I am still new to the FJ platform but I do feel some disconcerning wobbling when cornering sometimes.

It's a more solid feeling, best described as "confidence". The bike's handling is remarkably better with the following concerns addressed; fork brace, RPM Fork Valves, RPM Rear Shock, Tire Pressures. With these optimized, the bike is likely beyond the performance you can extract safely on the street.
