When he left rear bottom bar is at an upward angle the left rear spring acts digressive. As the suspension drops the birdcage rotates away form the base of the spring and unloads the spring. As you flatten the lower bar out the suspension drop reduced the loss of spring and can actually index the birdcage into the spring which adds drive. there is more to the equation that just the thrust angle of the bars. Once the car is on the bars the spring is unseated so if it was all about thrust angles of the bars you could remove the spring and the car would know no difference. Look under "To Tighten Corner Exit"

There are drivers that can keep the car on the bars all the way around the track. The spring can be removed for all intensive purposes. But like I said before, if you don't like it, don't do it. If it didn't work many, many fast cars would have little to no roll steer under throttle. Again, if you don't like it, don't do it! I know what works for me and my cars.
Iv'e read more of those generic tech articles than I care to admit. When I quit following everybody else's iseads and gave the car what it wanted and what worked, it got faster.Last edited by Confused?; 06-15-2013, 11:02 PM.Bill W. and Dr. Bob......who could have known.Comment

The upward angel is better is antique thinking, many cars with full drop are only a few inches off of the spring and when the car goes into the corner it is on the spring even with trail braking. If you rotate the birdcage into the spring you can almost eliminate spring loss especially with the longer lower leverage lengths used on many birdcages. Don't believe it put a camera on it. You will be amazed at what you learn. This it the same type of information taught in any major chassis schools now so I guess that they are all "Generic" information. I do not have to believe in something for it to work, it is simple mathematics and movement ratios that can be seen in effect in the shop with the car on stands.Comment
