rear metric trailling arms

[racer-15]

Whats everyone's opinion on rear trailing arms set them for best roll center and get forward. traction with added weight and transfer or set them for forward bite angled more and just spring car softer for roll and side bite? What are all the fast guys doin?

The fast guys are doing what is comfortable and consistent to them. You cannot be fast unless you are comfortable.

Just experiment until you find what works best for how you drive and tweak from there.

No right or wrong way, only what is fastest on the stop watch for your car. I think the biggest thing is understanding what you have and what adjustments will help that. I ran a very high rear RC, so my upper arms had a lot of angle, so with that I ran soft springs and all my weight was up high. We ran a lot of small tight tracks so coming off the corner from a slow speed was key for me. You can set it up with a lower rear RC but you might need more rear spring and the weight not as high. Lots of variables, Driving style, track size and banking, slick or heavy tracks. It takes a while to find that happy medium that works best for you, so dont be afraid to try things. If this was easy, everyone would be fast!
