A west coast drive provides a ton of advantages. As others have said, you can maximize your wheel base, improving robot stability. It also can make servicing a drivetrain insanely fast. Our modified WCD set up allows us to switch out our entire drivetrain for entirely new components in under 10 minutes without having to temporarily remove/loosen any non drivetrain component.
