As title states.... just wondering the good/bad for this set up.



Post away...

the only good is that you can rotate your tires front to back.........Rest is bad. The tires/rims were staggered to accomodate the handling characteristics of our rwd nature.

The rest is bad you say? Why is it, then, that some of the fastest drivers on this board run non-staggered? Pretty bold statement imo, you might want to back it up.

Its more of an advanced driver setup, but I don't think the nomal person is going to notice the difference, except the wonderful ability to rotate the wheels.

Here Rob may provide you with more info....

Your car looks great by the way!!! saw it at the oyster BBQ but didn't get a chance to say so.

^ I completely agree!

The handling characteristics with a staggered set up lean towards what most people would consider a novice safe (well safer) set up, when going with a non-staggered set up the car will become more twitchy (more over steer) and will require more driving ability to control safely (talking more about at the limit)

If you are using it for driving and looks it does not matter what you run (staggered or non-staggered) with the non-staggered I would be cairful in wet and semi-wet conditions

depends your goal with the car, i doubt you'll need more rubber in front for brake and more turn in for the street.

for 90percent of owner, a rear baised staggered set up proven to be safer/easier to drive.(esp on the tail happy ap1)

Dumping the stagger without doing additional suspension tuning is going to yield excessive oversteer.

Its all in what you do with the car. If you track the car it depends all on the track. A wider wheel up front would cause the car to turn slower because of the added weight, which would suck on a small tight track. I run S.C.C.A. and N.C.C.C. with our vette and on small tight tracks we run the staggered setup so the car can turn "quicker" and on longer tracks with more stretched out corners we use the wider tires up front so we can maintain higher speed with the extra grip. haha well thats my 2cents.

Yeh, ive notice the difference in the switch over, very ensitive at high speed




Thanks for the complement.

......and there you have it. It's as simple as that.
