1M has different springs, shocks, control arms, subframe, lsd

My car has a tune and catless downpipes with 3.46 lsd, 255 square tires I can spin pretty easily if I wanted. I haven't taken it to the track, this is just hooning in empty parking lots. Stock suspension allows more of a squatting effect which helps traction.

Use squared 225/40/18's very effectively on my 7 1/2 , 8 1/2 staggered 18's. Staggered tires give lots of "factory safe" understeer. Much better balance & handling clearly proven to me in autoX with the square setup. Since the 225's are the only size recommended for both 7 1/2 & 8 1/2 wheels and no doubt insufficient for the 135's power a square setup for you will require a change of wheels.
