Do the upper and lower mounting mounts on the housing have a large effect on the chassis? In terms of instant traction.
Last years chassis (blue/grey) that had a Birky style lift bar, with the Top mounting point farther ahead than he bottom. The car seemed to have decent continuous traction down the straightaways.
This years chassis (XR1) has a lift bar that the top mount is behind the location of the bottom mount.
How much effect do those two mounting points have?
No effect at allQuote:

For the most part, no real effectQuote:

Raising it would have more effect on lifting the right side of the car and reducing roll while on the gas and vice versa
