One thing I never understood is why the Japan FF road racers and gymkhana folk run spring/shock suspension setups that are OPPOSITE to those of us US folk. Higher spring rates in front/lower rates in rear, ESPECIALLY in gymkhana. One would think this would contribute to huge understeer.

Then again, running super high rates in the rear make the car prone to dive bombing and becoming squiggly under hard braking.

Any thoughts on this?
