Is it simply a matter of what angle they run the suspension travel at? It's usually desirable in road car applications to let the front wheels move not only up, but back to help absorb bumps in the road. The downside is that it creates more dive. Antidive is easy if you don't mind sacrificing ride quality. What kind of solution was proposed?
