Ok, there are a lot of folks out there who seem to be confusing autocross setup with road racing setup.
In autocross, BFB is your friend.
In roadrace, BF may not be your friend.
The only way to make a fwd VW not understeer is to run really high spring rates up front and higher rates out rear. You can just stiffen up the rear with a BRB, but the front outside wheel will exchange radical changes in camber during a turn. the BFB limits the amount of camber change during the turn. Good for control.
All of the folks that are preaching to run a BRB and either a stock FB or no FB are only selling you half he story. Spring rate is the other half of that story.
If you do not believe BFB has its place in Stock of SP car, then go driveone.
Manix / Wentzel were running a BFB in their FSP nationals winning car, Dude in Fla with the SM Mk1 Scirocco (G60, soon to be other supercharger) id running one. Me, I have won 7 club championships in GS GTI VR6 with the BFB with guys like GH Sharp, Rob Carpenter, etc running against me.
Do some research, and you will discover that a BFB in autocross can be your friend.
