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