Anyone have a setup of 15mm spacers in front and 20 rear?

Well, I would say those guys definitely know way more than I do, so I may very well be wrong. I was driving around with only a front spacer installed

Well, I would say those guys definitely know way more than I do, so I may very well be wrong. I was driving around with only a front spacer installed for a couple days when I did my install and the car was definitely more tail happy. Like TC flickering all over the place. Now that I have everything rounded off, I only see it flicker when I do something silly on purpose.

Then again..I and all the other folks here who said wider rear track = more understeer could be wrong. They list widening front track to lower understeer... then narrowing rear for reducing oversteer sounds a little odd.

I don't mind being corrected if it isnt the case though....anyone?

"They list widening front track to lower understeer... then narrowing rear for reducing oversteer sounds a little odd."

This is exactly what baffles me, "if" widening the front track reduces understeer, which most seem to agree with, then it would seem that narrowing the rear track would have the same effect, reduce understeer/increase oversteer, NOT as it states (reduce oversteer = reduce rear track)
