Staggered or square setup?

Thanks! I'm still a noob when it comes to this stuff, but I'm trying to learn.

That's the plan. I had planned to go to an AutoX event a few weeks ago, but ended up not going because Steve offered to buy me lunch

Once you try it at a good location with a good club you will probably be hooked and back there every few weeks. It takes 3 or 4 events before you really start to reach your potential.

Yeah the only problem for me is finding one that is at a good time for me and isn't too far away. I work 6 days a week so my free time is limited.

I'm gonna have to be honest. I Don't think understeer from stagger is the issue everyone makes it out to be. My right pedal provides the back end of the car plenty of rotation on the track. Maybe my setup is different, but my car leans toward oversteering during high speed autox. I run 265 305 and I was running -1.7 camber all around. I'm now a touch positive to that as I raised a quarter inch.

Maybe in small autocross corners it pushes... I don't know. But at higher speed it tends toward oversteer. And at high speed, Id prefer to err more toward under.

Does anyone have any pics of their square setups? Im contemplating doing a Vossen CV3 20X10.5 +15 square set up, in order to get the most concave look.. My current set up is a bit too aggressive for a daily setup for me.
