By using split-rate shocks between pairs on each end of the car, we cantighten the car on exit off the corners. If the LF shock is stiffer inrebound than the RF, and/or the LR shock is stiffer in compression thanthe RR shock, then the crossweight percent (RF + LR combined weights)will increase momentarily while the suspension is moving and adjustingto the transfer of weight due to acceleration.
