Without making sure there is enough weight transfer to the rear, everything else is as useless as trying to cure pneumonia with flu medicine.

That's simply wrong niznai.

Increasing toe in will increase rear grip on corner exit. Diff adjustments will increase rear grip on corner exit. Static camber adjustments will increase rear grip on corner exit. A different body will increase grip on corner exit. None of these depend on weight transfer.

​​​​​​It's all very well being opinionated but at least try and make your opinions accurate.

The stock ones are still breaking at carpet tracks? I thought there was a 5 degree Square set out there somewhere.

You could also try using progressive springs up front, on my XR I am running smj 2.5-3.0 progressives and my car feels a lot more stable through corners.

So the 2.5-3.0 is front? How about your rear springs?

And of course, weight transfer has nothing to do with grip.

I think you need to read back a few posts and also check the difference between opinion and reality.

.

It does of course, but you were not specific nor offered any other change or direction. Also like mentioned there are many other things that can be changed besides weight transfer.. if you don't want to upset the car if you are happy with how planted it is everywhere else there are so many other things can be done.

Ah I don't have those xrays. Only SMJs in my tool box.

Christian Donath seems to be the man with this car in the ETS series. I would look at his setups. SMJ red front and silver rear. Which is progressive 2.5-2.8 front and 3.0 rear. Also seems to run a tad of front arm sweep.

The question was asked without any details about the current setup.

Hence I can only leave it to mind readers to make more detailed suggestions.

Anyone knows where I can get center pulley replacement?

Or can I use any other brands that fits?

I was able to find half the part on ebay from an international seller. You may be able to find the other half through a european distributor. The problem is that a lot of them won't ship to the US.
