5KinKP60 Regular Location: Finland Registered: June 2002	rwd loss of traction in launch - pinion angle - post lowering susp. Mon, 09 December 2002 00:49 Has anyone experienced a loss of traction (in high powered live rear axle car) under hard acceleration after suspension lowering? I have read a few threads of this sort on another forums. Some of the people were not absolutely sure whether things had gotten worse tractionwise, but some indication was lingering in the air that such assumption was sound. Other people have reported absolutely 100% sure that traction is noticeably worse after lowering job. [Notice - we're talking about initial tyre bite in launch, just the first 1 or 2 seconds. Not prolonged acceleration off the line.] I have studied the matter at hand, and on paper it seems clear that for example rwd Toyotas made in the -70's and -80's do have such rear axle support configuration that initial traction suffers after a lowering job. Rectifying matters is possible, so loss of traction can be restored on a lowered suspension. Commentary welcomed. -A. [Updated on: Mon, 09 December 2002 01:25] [Report message to a moderator]
