Yo, this is my rig..
Make you faster? maybe maybe not..., at least not at the intensity that I like it at. it for instance... hitting walls.. and other hard objects can hurt... so ... you tend to drive a bit more... cautiously
It is however a fantastic addition, to be able to feel so many more inputs from the real world. it can travel 14 inches , so hitting a jump you feel your stomach ... completely worth it. also, I did this to add pizzazz to my resume. ASK any questions if you would like. I just recently this year got this working and am in the process of making a nice open source project for people to follow along with.
Later!
