Re: World's shittiest vid of an LSD Motorsports' clutch in action
Car had no traction in 2nd without the limiters, dropped .25 in the eighth and picked up trap speed with them on a slipping clutch. The video was the first time at the track with LS gearing, and the low boost level is too high @ 19psi. It set a new best eighth of 6.9@111 that day despite the 60'. Trust me, I think about this car a lot! There may be better budget setups, but this one does work.

i bet it helps keep the trailing arms level with each other. more weight can get transferrd back if its only pushing down mostly on one spring (makes sense to me, but i'm an idiot)
run a thick *** bar from the back of the trailing arm to the other. same basic priciple but i dont know how the trailing arms/solid bar would like it though with the camber increasing as the *** end drops

not solid suspension Non- IRS. both wheels are linked with a bar. if one goes up they both go up. no camber adjustment. the bar pivots at the front
look at the rear susp of a cobalt or an 05 and older VW or a PT cruiser

Re: World's shittiest vid of an LSD Motorsports' clutch in action
Yeah, but I don't understand why unless for weight savings. 900lb springs aren't good enough, the car squats a little with them, but if it was a beam axle with 900lb springs I don't see where it would help.
That pretty good stuff.
