fwd welded diff on dirt

I am not sure what you are talking about in that last post, about lf and rr, could you explain that ?

Usually (most commonly), rear wheel drive race cars will have a heavier RF than LF and a heavier LR than RR. So, your cross is created between the RF and LR. On a FWD car, your cross will be between your LF and RR. So, heavier spring rates in those corners (LF and RR) are preferred on a FWD race car.

I've heard many people say, the outside drive tire is more for steer/control and the inside drive tire is for bite/acceleration. So, in your case, let it roll on the RF for steer while you stiffen the LF to keep it planted for proper acceleration out of the turn. The stiffer the RR spring is, the more cross you will have on the LF as well.

Hope this makes sense.

alright man look idk how ur rear bars are but in some way i know u can put rear steer which means (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) the right rear tire out in the front which will make it look like a nascar going straight and when u turn it it will allow the rear of the car to try and pass its self up but wont do so because the front wheels r pulling that will give u ur sidways and bottom corner u want... then on ur tow dont tow it out 1/4 tow it in 1/4 on the rf,,and bump ur rear tire press to about 55psi and see how that maks the car turn just try it..it whats i do here in indiana and kentucky..

Man I must be out to lunch ! I run a spring rubber in the rf,2 when it rubbers in and gets fast,Don't have over 18lbs of air in ANY tire,run a TON of stager across the front.No tubes,you know how much those thing weigh ? Get rid of the steel wheels,to much unsprung weight,go get NEW OEM springs,some new decent struts,check all your front end parts for wear and replace anything you might THINK is bad.Lose that 1/4 inch of toe out,set it straight up,a fwd toes out a bit under load .Get light on everything you can ! Don't toss it in the corners ,arc it in ,keep it straight.imagine an egg under gas pedal,gentle.You will gain so much speed in the middle of the corners that your corner exit speed will be so much quicker they will think you bolted on 25 h.p.JMHO,It works for us.
