Q: What is the difference between staggered and square wheel setups?

Staggered Setup: Involves different wheel sizes on the front and rear axles, typically with a wider wheel in the rear. This is often used for performance or aesthetic purposes.

Square Setup: Uses the same wheel size on all four corners, which allows for tire rotations.

My Model Y now handles so much better after adding these sway bars! What a great bang for your buck upgrade- really made a huge difference.
