Really difficult to drive. The added arm sweep of the 1.5 block smoothed out response throughout the entire corner. On asphalt all I run is the 2.5 up front.

An added benefit of more arm sweep is less chatter. The increased angle of the arm actually decreases the angle on the CVD while cornering.
Very much agree. The only time I run 0 deg of sweep is on carpet with foam tires. It keeps the front end from screwing itself into the ground LMAO.
