It really helps with set up as you can work on each aspect of the car one step at a time to make sure everything is set up properly. It really works wonders as I can break hard with a one-way while in the corner without the rear end snapping out.
Yeah but then as soon as you're introduced to the wall all the work is for nothing. I just as soon set up the car by the book and adjust from there using the book setup as my base.
