I am looking for a more slippery setting. cheers. remove traction bracket then? traction is grip, lemme guess, you need less grip for dorifto you are talking about this yeah? what the brackets do, is change the angle of the lower links.. back to square one...looking from drivers side at rear wheel... car accelerates, wheel turns clockwise as axles are providing a clockwise force. diff housing is resisting this force, and is thus trying to turn anticlockwise.... so at the top of the housing the suspension arms are in tension, and the lower arms are in compression... so the force to accelerate the car is coming entirely thru the lower arms, and since they are free to rotate at both ends, the force MUST be transmitted along the along the arm is on.... ie, if the arm is angled down, the car will squat more. if the arms are angled upwards, it will tend to lift the back of the car. the poorly named fooly sik "traction brackets" are not about trction, they are about restoring and altering theangle that the lower arm pushes against the body. during acceleration, the angle required is determined by the magnitude of the forces involved, the ride height, the strength of the springs and shocks, the amount of weight transfer etc etc etc.. so why did you buy the brackets?
