Not in all situations or we would all be running 0 droop!! Weight transfer can equal more grip in situations where grip is needed (spec tires/limited downforce!!)

"Limiting suspension droop has another interesting effect: you can use it to reduce traction rolling. Often it's a better solution than using stiffer springs and harder tires, it's even better than reducing ride height or adding anti-roll bars. " (both of which reduce traction)

I read this as by decreasing droop you can take traction away which would and can make the rear loose on entry due to less traction. Obviously there is a point where you can have too much droop and thus loose traction too.

On my Spec R it doesnt like full droop but it also doesnt like 2.5 droop so I am about 4 right now and it feels good and planted. Since these tires are not as grippy or rounded as the normal TC type tires i think they work better with weight transfer. But to each his own, its a simple test that can be reversed quite easily!!
