I don't have extensive track experience with my square setup, but I've spent enough time loading it up in corners to know that it's stable on the brakes, neutral mid-corner with a smooth progressive break-away at limit, and the expected oversteer bias if you're too greedy on exit.

I've yet to be able to make this car plow - maybe at sub 30mph speeds it would in an auto-x setting, but on track it was pretty balanced with stock SS stuff and square 275 performance all-seasons. The limits were unexpectedly low with the sub-par tires, but very neutral and very progressive on the limit.

And the bonus - front to back tire rotation.
If you upgrade to my JPSS 32mm rear bar and get a dead nuts balls on alignment to my track specs, you won't believe what your 1LE is capable of.
