Default One way to deal with the squat

One way to deal with the squat (other than springs and shocks) is to alter the supspension pick up points. For example is the lower control arm front pickup point was raised a few (five)milimeters, this can change the rear geometry so that the suspension has some antisquat built in. This can be done with a slight change to the bracketry used for alignment.

A similar change happened to the 348 to 348 Speciale where Ferrari dropped the upper rear control pickup points by 0.2" and this settled the rear end squirliness found on the earlier 348s.
