Eric, what's your view on this. I posted a setup a couple weeks ago. It was awesome accept a traction roll problem.
I ran the same setup last weekend except changed to 5wt. heavier springs front and rear with the shocks laid over a lot (I think #1 tower and #2 a-arm, front and rear). Thanks to the handy dandy wheel weight chart that was posted I was only about 15-20 g/mm over the lighter springs. Anyway, the car was HOOKED UP! No traction roll. The rear just free enough to rotate tight corners off power, but locked in on power.
From an engineering point, do you think it was the heavier spring or the shock angle that stopped the traction roll?

Thanks
John
