It makes sense that a bigger contact patch would give you better braking.

Topless has a lot of track experience and has a good handle on what he is talking about. Between him and his brother, they probubly have tried just about every posible setup on a Boxster

Also with added traction with 225, did you also have to upsize front sway bar to counter oversteering?

Me, all benefits, did not have to upsize the front bar, the 205/255 stock stagger is so heavily biased towards understeer that moving to 225 in the front just helps dial some of that out, but still leaves a slight understeer bias.

Sounds good. I got a beefier non-S M030 sway bar in back already, still not oversteering, so hoping 225 fronts dial it just right without needing a thicker front bar.
