It's been a long time since I've used Space Bar fronts, but I have some good experience with Dirt Web and Ellipses.
-Dirt Web fronts have more initial turn-in and then release the corner.
-Ellipse fronts have less initial turn-in, but have more middle and exit steering.
I think Ellipses can make a car oversteer and over power the rear making the car feel loose on-power exiting corners; this is when Dirt Webs are better. If the car feels tight on-power and you need more steering to finish the corner, then Ellipses are favored.
