what's the advantage of having different sizes F/R?

Doesn't it confuse the ECU?

Chicks dig it!!

I really like the appearence of the staggered wheels though. the rears are much deeper dish than the fronts, but overall there is little preformance advantage beyond the larger contact patch in rear= better traction back there, both cornering and straight line. keep in mind though that the extra weight slows your straight line acceleration down a bit as well...not much, but eneough to be noticable even w/ a 225

Re: questions??

I set them at 5 all around for starters. That equlivilent to the non-adjustable PSS's. Once I get to beat on them some I will dial them in more specifically. I have found them to be only marginally stiffer than stock (more a factor of the spring rates), with muck less squat and dive when accelerating and breaking. but still quite comfortable on city streets. But I drive a lot of dedicated race cars w/ springs rates hard enough to rupture your kidneys, so maybe I'm not the best person to ask. Overall I have nothing but good things to say about them so far...
