From what I understand the stock setup makes the car a little tail happy. This is fun if you are a drifter or aant to get sideways all the time but not exactly optimal for fast cornering.

I did not go with super grippy tires so I should be able to get the tail out if I want but it will take a little more effort.

255 at the rear is very wide considering the BRZ tends to understeer. which tires did you get? generally, tire compound matters more than the width of the tire unless you're comparing the tires with the same compound but different widths.

for comparison, even the s2k guys run a square setup even though s2k rotates quicker than a brz.

i'm not saying the staggered setup is bad, it's just that it would appear that a square setup would make more sense if you prefer to keep the stock balance.
