That means keeping those rear tires as connected to the pavement and getting the outside front tire to the point of lifting off the pavement.

I would suggest full stiff in the front and full soft in the rear. This would give you maximum grip when throttling out of corners. 0threefiftyz runs the massive Hotchkiss front bar and no sway bar in the rear. And he won the Tire Rack Solo Nationals in BSP.
I'm not sure if I'am right, but You mean getting the INSIDE front tire to the point of lifting off the pavement??, isn't the outside tire the one getting the load?. As if I'm turning right, left tire would be the outside and getting loaded, right front tire would be inside and be the one lifting. Or do I have the whole outside/inside tire backwards??

Have read if you run very stiff front, You'd have oversteering issue. Looking for street/track setup
