Now, if you are talking drag racing/zooming onto entrance ramps, then yeah a square setup makes no sense. On street I run staggered, waste of money to run 285 square on street driving.

I only meant that once boosted.. the power that these cars make needs as much tire as you can fit! Then again, with how much this particular IRS cambers on compression, I am not sure how much the extra rubber really matters when it isnt touching the ground!

This x 1000.

I had my first autocross (hard launches) since I changed suspension set up (a LOT less rear suspension squat) and its the first time I haven't been able to roast through first and into second, and I'm N/A and making more power and tq than I ever have.

This suspension just adds camber so fast when compressed that it's hard to put power down, no matter how fat your tires are. I think this is why some people have worse straight line traction when they go to larger tires...
