Did you check your tire pressures? The rs3 is a much stiffer sidewall tire, has nothing to do with stagger or square.
I concur - the RS3s have a much stiffer sidewall. And yes, I did check pressures fanatically with the MPSSs - the MPSS sidewalls are just too soft for track duty and they roll over too easily. But I must say the tires have excellent feel and stick! I guess my point on going square was two fold:

1. Going square means I can rotate the tires to all four corners.

2. Going square enabled me to get a set of dedicated track day tires that are far more suitable for high speed track duty.
