It is not much of a difference if you're just canyon cruising, but it's first-to-last on a course.

The spring bias in the z is also loathe to drop weight back onto the back wheels, expanding that pause. The closer fr rates on swifts and coils is where a lot of their benefit comes in....
trail braking a bit helps too. I usually brake hard before the corner, and keep a slight pressure on the pedal, about 10 or 15% on initial turn in. The slight front squat helps the front bite into the asphalt. After that it's power oversteer as needed
