Default 3dr front hubs versus 2wd sapphire- pros/cons

What are the pros and cons of fitting the 3dr hubs over 2wd front hubs? I have a 2wd sapphire track car that I want to handle great and it will have comp struts, Adj TCAs and modded rear beam, I want to know what the difference is between the two and pros and cons behind them both. Whats recommended for track use? And can my front brakes be fitted to the 3dr hubs as a straight swap?

I read that steering angle and feel is increased along with response using 3dr hubs?

Feed back anybody, thanks

2wd and 3 door hubs have different TCA attachment, one is by castle nut, other is by pinch bolt, so end of TCA different as necessary.
The brakes fit straight on either.
Angles etc the SAME for both, 3 door uses a SLIGHTLY longer anti roll bar, giving less CASTOR, meaning better turn in but just more twitchy but not excessive as I have used one of these(3 door) on a hatch that I had.
