I guess, it may be seen during heavy rain, near to aquaplaning speeds, aswell. And enthusiastic "canyon runs" are not that far from mild track use. Yes, grip can be reduced on back and added in front with some suspension upgrades/tuning .. but why introduce something that needs to be fixed with more investments in first place? Hence i won't agree that it won't matter and most drivers won't feel difference if daily driving only. Some won't .. but if they won't use this car as it was designed for, for bringing driving fun in curvy roads, it's just wasted potential of it.

How many people use this car to it's potential? Not many I expect. Now ice never used a staggered setup nor have I been in the mod game that long but I do know that everyone says heavy 18" wheels will make the car handle like trash. When I went from stock to heavy 18s I noticed 0 difference. Now I don't have twisty roads to drive on to push the limits but for DD... There was no difference. So I guess this experience has jaded me to many people's proclamations on how much handling is affected by things. Sure it's degraded or improved by XYZ but in such a small amount that it's not usually noticeable
