Anti-dive has greatest effect in deceleration, anti-squat when accelerating.

My current setup thinking:
Anti-dive = Will cause the front end to wash out as it will take 1-2deg of caster out of the car when I am only running the 3deg blocks. To counter act this affect I would need to install the 6deg blocks which would put me back to where I started or potentially having more reactive caster.
Anti-Squat = Decrease steering response off power entering a corner as less weight is transfered forward. On-power steering is increased when the throttle is applied due to less weight transfering to the rear.
The only problem that I have with my thinking is nobody runs anti-squat on carpet while anti-dive seems normal.

It's used to set the rear shock tower further back on the chassis. Early tests have shown that it increases stability and transfers the wings downforce more efficiently to the suspension because it puts the body mounts closer to the rear wing.
I will have aluminum versions cut by the end of the week.

We have tested that moving the shock tower further back and mounting the shock inside it stablelized the rear end of the car on the straight-line this help the rear end to be more planted specially if your running mod.
We have also tested it on boosted 17.5 with very good results. The car carry a lot more corner speed without breaking the rear end loose. We got this idea from top photon.

I hinted that it's related to later in the season because it incorporates a fan.

I hope to have a plastic prototype by this weekend and then I will post pictures soon after.
