I have to say, i really find this hard to understand.
The angle of the axle is never extreme to the point where the car scrubs speeds. In the front, i get it, when the front wheels turn left and right and go up and down. But in the rear, really? If i just think of the physics, and how much a sedan's suspension moves, with the camber changes, and toe angles...

When DCJ's are applied to the back, the car's rear suspension is free to comply more and absorb the weight transfer, but it wont transfer that load to the tires for that short period of time when first accelerating out of the corner, thus providing slightly more rear rotation.
People forget there is a difference between load transfer and weight transfer. Load transfer implies that there is a transfer in force or load directly to the tires. Weight transfer results in a change of center of gravity due to body roll, or pitch changes.

Generally, the standard driveshafts will bind up slightly more. This prevents the suspension from compressing quite as much and putting all pressure or load to the tire. This increases forward traction when you are first accelerating and tends to lock the back end in more.

Started my build yesterday and everything so far has gone smoothly. However, when mounting the shock towers were a slight pain in the butt. You really have to apply a lot of pressure to fit on.
Also, after installing the center spur pulley unit, I noticed some side to side movement. Is this normal?
Cheers.

Did you forget to add the 0.5 shim to remove the play?

I didn't find the right combo set up with the T-shox the works for me compare the Yokomo stock springs ( mine short shock)
what piston hole size and wt. oil and springs did you have ?
