Default Reversing front wishbone on the Cougar SV

I've just got myself a Cougar SV, was wondering what benefit reversing the front wishbones achieves.

Also, would i need different balljoints if i reverse the wishbones?

Thanks in advance

No extra parts needed. Calms the front end down a bit. Less aggressive steering.

and 2mm longer wheel base, also alters the Ackerman affect of the steer,

I am new to the cougar sx, and getting it setup for its first meet, I have read that alot of the team drivers are reversing the fron arm ? why ? does any mods need to be done for this ? does the car handle better by this ? any pic's to show what needs to be done.

As for why people does it - reread this thread once again.
As for what to do to achieve that - just swap left/right wishbones on front. Easy as that. nothing extra needed.
