Quote: With adjustable trailing arms with rose joints. I have it set to the lowest point of adjustment on the bracket.. There are two higher settings.. Seems like this setting is grippy. And good for putting power down. Would the higher up it goes decrease the grip in theory? The car is sitting low in the back so the angle of the trailing arm would be closer to stock as it is.. But i don't understand. DOes it twist the diff upwards if its on the lower setting? What happens when i accelerate? I am looking for a more slippery setting. i just would have expected a racer to understand that it is the adjustable trailing arms that set the diff pinion angle.. not the brackets... and that all the brackets do is change the lower arm geometry, in that it changes the angle of intersection with the body.... and that it changes the moment arm of the diff bracket and this affects the forces it conveys, relative to the upper bracket, and thus affects how much the diff 'climbs' (but 4AG doesn't have that much power ) as i understood it, "traction brackets" were a drag developed item, adn had to do with massive power causing the diff the climb, and this helped correct it by increasing the length of the moment arm acting on the diff... and also when the ride height is diferent, it allowed changes to the weight and power transfer due to lower arm gemoetry... i only suggested dorifto as it sound slike the sort of thing a dorifto boy would install without know what it did i guess you have to ask the question... what is the ideal lower arm angle of instersection with the body, and how will it change with weight transfer to the rear of the car..
