Guys, some more questions:
1. Why is MM more popular than RM? My buddy says he had a chance to drive Schumacher's MM and it was very pushy. Well maybe the car wasn't set up right. Anyway, what is the clear advantage of MM over RM?
2. It seems that saddle pack is more recommended than shorty. Why? Some mentioned weight distribution (I guess to the sides). But I don't get it. More weights to the sides, and then the more lateral weight transfer at turns leading to loose car is my imagination. No?
3. Can somebody explain why MM setup is better at Astro/high bite carpet than RM? If there's anybody that goes SCV in SoCal, how's the traction there and what would you use between RM and MM?

Thanks again,
