Default Square tyre set-up for the Circuit?

Hi guys

For those who have been at the circuit several times:
Has anybody tried running this type of setup?
some say it works very well but with a little bit of oversteer.

Will this setup still keep the VDC happy at the circuit?

Check the Motorsports section - there's a few threads in there.

You'll probably want adjustable sway bars to dial out the oversteer but I've used a square setup for a few years. It's nice to be able to rotate the tires to even out the wear.

From my personal experience, with factory 04.5 suspension a square setup on the track is the perfect setup. Completely neutral and very predictable. My experience is also with stock horsepower and my car is a base model so I have an open diff.

With more power or suspension mods the whole game changes of course.
