Hi,

are you refering to droop?
the amount of negative suspension travel?

if you are refering to droop, more droop allows for more wight transfere.
if I have it right, if you have more droop in the front of the car, the car will transfere more weight to the rear when accelerating. more droop in the rear will transfere more weight to the front when braking.

the short of it is, the side with more droop will allow more weight transfere to the other side resulting in more traction through the adition weight on that side.

hope it makes sense......?
