To explain it simply, when you reduce the diff action, you reduce steering. You also reduce the amount of unloading the diff does, so you have to play around with it to find the right balance. I would suggest you stick with the stock setup of 30K up front and 10K rear with rubber tires. That should give you a good balance of steering and reduce the diff unloading. You can use tires, different springrates, shock positions and caster to change the steering characteristics. Once you get comfortable with the setup of the car and what changes cause which effects, then try changing the diff oils. The stock setup is very good with rubber tires. You should have a very competitive car if you use the stock setup and only change the shock positions to balance out traction. The Take-Off CS27 is a good tire, but you may want to have a harder compound available for the front in case you have too much steering. Good luck!
hi Psycho, when you mention "diff Unloading" what does this mean?
