Mickmate, I have tried to model the FFR IRS in solidworks. The theory is that the heimjoints bind on power and add to the antisquat. This may not actually be true. The front and back travel in different diameter circles, since one is 3 degrees lower, and the back one is something like 87 degrees off the side rails and is shorter.

The antisquat has something to do with the contact patch to instant center angle and the angle of the lower control arm. More angle on the lower arm gives more anti-squat. I will have to find my chassis book to actually remember what it said.
