Pros:
Contact patch

I was just thinking about this today since my floater housing is about to be built.

I'll be curious to hear what the pro's think but IMO if you are thinking about doing this to your car drive on a track first and see how she handles.

My recent run at T-Hill I couldn't get the rear to slide one bit. I couldn't keep up with the track and spent most my time adjusting tire pressures and alignment. Next time out I'll be spending more time adjusting rear roll center.

Accelerate the car, push mostly, and with camber hopefully keep a line in a corner...
