Auto Racing: modified rear end setup on 2 link, sarasota florida, lap times


Question

Answer
Hi John:

I really nead a LOT more info- - -front drive or rear ?  do you HAVE To run a 2 link rear ?  Can you change it to a 3 link or a 4 link ?  Depending on the engine size and tire size, rear end ratio, a lot of other stuff, a 3 link might be better.

To answer your question, you need to raise the LR about an inch.  That will add weight to that corner, also to the RF,  and take some off the RR .   Only make ONE change at a time, and keep notes with what you did, and lap times before and after.  Before you do ANYthing though, make sure the rear end is square with the car.

Get a book called "How To Make Your Car Handle" by Fred Puhn, it's about $15.00 and any book store can order it for you .  Well worth the investment. REad it at least twice before trying anything, you need to have a basic understanding of what you are trying to accomplish.

If you can send me more complete info I can try to give better answers

Good luck
