So you are saying that if you have your rear lower pins in the down position, your car has more rear traction than in the up position?
On a high bite track where do you run your lower pins?
Okay so we agree on how moving the roll center changes how a car handles. If you also reference the chart under ADJUSTING ROLL CENTER (Rear) pivot ball suspension
It says to lower the rear roll center you
1. Raise the position of the inner upper camber link. (mugen part to-161)???
2. Lower the position of the outer upper camber link (remove spacers)
3. LOWER THE POSITION OF THE INNER PIVOT POINT OF THE LOWER ARM(THIS IS THE ADJUSTMENT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT)(I'm not sceaming just signifing this the point where we disagee)
If I'm on a high bite track. I run my pins in the highest position which raises the roll center, which gives lower traction, which prevents traction roll. I'm not worried about being too loose because I'm in high bite situation. My goal is to remove traction.
That's my understanding hope this helps
