Mike is correct and reflects the evolution of the group over the years.

Many of those mtx cars eventually got the 24 front for the street. I've
always cautioned atx cars that 26 rear addition was close to dangerous
oversteer under some conditions. Autocrossers and trackers would prefer a
different setup.

The 24/26 with PU rear bushings and links and 16x7.5 225.55 makes my atx
neutral to slight oversteer.
