Total front wheel rates are measured by deflecting both wheels 1 inch in opposite directions giving you a 2 inch movement on the Anti-Roll Bar. The Anti-Roll Bar Wheel Rate should be calculated by using only half the length of the bar, not the entire length. The same would be true of a Rear Anti-Roll Bar. (Endless NASCAR, Indy, Formula-1 etc. teams set up their cars in the shop and take them to the track and wonder why they have a noticeable Understeer. Many teams only discover the error after installing data acquisition systems that include monitoring Anti-Roll Bar loads.

Competition oriented car enthusiasts buy custom wheels for the performance benefits. Custom aluminum alloy wheels are much lighter and stronger than ordinarily steel wheels and they look great .... Install wider wheels on the rear for that mean look on restored 60s muscle cars such as Chevelles, Mustangs and Chargers.

Because the wheels are not constrained to remain perpendicular to a flat road surface in turning, braking and varying load conditions, control of the wheel camber is an important issue. Swinging arm was common in small cars that were sprung softly and could carry large loads, because the camber is independent of load. Some active and semi-active suspensions maintain the ride height, and therefore the camber, independent of load. In sports cars, optimal camber change when turning is more important.
