As a newbie I found this pretty informative.

That goes way past any kind of tuning or setup I've ever done on my car All I mean by "square setup" is the front and rear wheels are identical.

I switched to square(per clint and some companies recommendation) and it does balance the OEM setup a lot better. Knowing a bit more now I can see Clint's point on tuning with a square setup.

With a good corner balance and correct spring rates, for someone that knows what they are doing, a wider track, especially upfront on a car with an engine that stands up tall is an advantage.

Wider track up front helps with our high CG (v6). Without a square wheel base the car is going to inherently always "push". It's basic geometry and physics. Pushing is fixable via sway bars, but if you don't have to deal with a geometry problem, why should you?

Don't want to be negative, but this is exactly why I don't like a lot of the Z Specs in the "racing" world. They aren't good specs for our car.
