Drop Spindle Discussion

Grant,

Forgot to mention, if you decide to weight-jack the car for different corner weights, the correct way to do it is with ride height adjustments, not sway bar link-pin tricks. Just drop or raise one corner of the car, and you'll get instant weight transfer at both diagonal corners (i.e., drop front left 1/10", RR will raise by a similar measurement).

This will put more weight transfer on the corner that was dropped, and consequently, more grip in corners. Big caveat though; I wouldn't use this as a band-aid to solve your current handling inequities. First solve the problem, then use this to dial-in the balance as the last step in chassis tuning.

Bob
