A couple things to try one at a time and in no particular order.
These two should cause more weight to transfer to the front of the car.
- More anti-squat
- less front droop and more rear droop (the greater the difference between the two, the more weight transfer to the front, but you don't want to go too far
)
To create a little less rear traction, you can:
- reduce the rear toe
- move the shocks out on the tower

Off topic. Turnbuckle binding fix. Take a set of flat pliers, no ribs. And put slight pressure on the ball ends to slightly squash them. Br careful not to do it too much. Binding fixed. Thanks to John Raya for the fix. Also thanks to Kevin Motter or B5M tips, and Team Hot Bodies for the D413 tips. Both cars are incredible now. Whole time my problems with the B5s were the binding turnbuckles. A bit of running on OC/RC hard packed clay broke in my tires. Dialed now running Cavs setup from SDRC.

Polishing removes a little bit of material too.

some people with bound ball cups have said the EXACT same thing to me. Then when i free up their cups properly they thank me.
reaming the ball cups is the best option but polishing can help as well.

because stock ball cups bind without work done to the cup or stud. Pinching the ball caps help some but they still have some bind.

None had any binding with the cups.
Seen others have this problem before though.
I just replace the offending cup.
Everytime I check the old cup it had been screwed onto the rod to far.Cup gets a dent on the inside where the rod bumped though.
Just saying....
