CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - More front end travel, or more Torsion Bar load?

A few things you can try, reduce the front end travel with a limiter, leave the torsion bars alone.
Tighten up the shocks, both front and rear.
Run a few more pounds of air in the slicks.
Most effective thing is to remove some weight if you can. If you make the car 100 lbs. lighter it will react much different. If you can't take it out, move it around so you can make the other adjustments without sacrificing traction.
All these changes will effect the traction, but limiting body motion will make the car move forward. To much and it will spin, it's a fine line and track conditions need to be considered.
Get out there and test!
