Well you need them to improve traction, ever wonder why you get better traction when you make your FWD car rear suspension stiffer?.When a car experiences accelerations a change in weight distribution happens, if you turn to the right both left tires will take more weight than the right ones, if you accelerate forward the weight transfers to the rear tires, this is why you can make wheelies with RWD applications, as a large % of weight transfers to the rear tires to improve its traction.
In that Civic... with those wheelies he tries to prevent this switch in weight distribution to happen in order to maintain the maximum possible traction in the front wheels.
I think that there are another gains for having a larger wheelbase but I am not sure.
Thats a fast Civic, the trap speed is insane...
