Chaining the RR down?

[shaw33]

Word on the street around here is the new thing is chaining the RR. Is anyone doing this or heard of it? I might just be stupid but I don't know how it could help

Been done for several years. All it really does is tighten up the center.

Really tightens up through center off on the gas. Very effective and sensitive, takes a while to find the sweet spot... Would never want to use on a rough track though.

It doesn't let the rr bar up. It is very common for the rr spring to unload up the straights on a 4 link car.

So you just mount the chain to the axle? And pretty much set it tight at ride height and play with it from there do dial it in?

Wouldn't the proper shock on the RR help the timing with this?
You want the the RR doing the same amount of work as the LR when in a straight line but not on the last portion of the exit as the loads are still favoring the RR. That seems like a shock adjustment to me.

Yes. You can help yourself adjusting RR rebound for sure.
