But they do give more rotation. Bit abrupt though.
In 4wd is probably a better option, But you'd need to remember your putting on lower tires, so you can't just swap them and expect it to work, You'd need to at least compensate on driving height and maybe take 2 or 3 packs to adapt your setup if your used to run normal unmodified tires.

In 2wd I have to admit this is not the thing to do for everyone. Again you'd need a few packs to perfect your setup (for me is rear ride height, and go -5wt in the rear shocks). But even then it's for the people who don't like to use breaks and/or like a bit more ...errrmmm... hostile car. So for the people who are contemplating minipin or spikes in the front.......
