Anti-squat between 70% and 100% works well for rock crawling and trail running. shortening the lower links, is a reduction in loose roll steer. The popularity of the 4-link suspension is due primarily to its right amount of loose roll steer can help a race car to turn the corner For many applications, a 100% anti-dive front end may be a desirable starting point or default setting, especially if the 4-link mounts are fabricated to allow for adjustability above and below 100%.
