Thanks for the input everyone. Helpful points made by all. Turning is definitely a nightmare but I only hate it at very slow speeds and from a stop or in tight quarters.
For me, the front end swap would have more benefit than just improved turning and geometry - weight reduction, improved header clearance, additional tune-ability of the front end, getting the ride height where I want it... I want to lighten the car up some and make things easier to adjust and work on so eventually this upgrade will happen.
This rack setup was a concern when I bought the car, but I wasn't too worried about it, being a drag car. If it was a street car, I'd put it back to factory. I'll investigate some wheel options for now. Thinking this might be the best option right now to buy me a little clearance. Being that it does go beautifully straight and seeing some of the responses here, it will probably remain as it is for now.
