Squat absorbs quite abit of this weight transfer. Therefore the more the car squats the less weight is transferred to the wheels resulting in less forward drive!!


Less antisquat creates more sidebite as when the car squats in a corner centrifugal forces are greater causing more lateral weight change to load up the tyre creating more lateral grip from the tyre ( sidebite)


So to summerize.
More antisquat = more forward drive
Less antisquat =. More sidebite

Thank you for your 101 lesson in antisquat

I was always under the assumption that the more the rear squats, the more rear traction, but the opposite is true. You learn new things everyday!
