Excessive Weight Transfer
Excessive Weight Transfer
I'm getting excessive weight transfer on causing my Front wheels to spin off the launch, what are some of the suspension setups the drag cars are using to minimize transfer.
I've considered stiffer rear springs with stock fronts springs, coilovers, stiffer front sway bar, even a wheelie bar to preload the front.
I'm taking sugestions as my car will be down for a week or so for the turbo and drivetrain upgrades.

Actually a front sway bar keeps the front end from lifting. Thats why muscle cars pull the front swaybar for more transfer.
I am having same issues and I have been doing a lot of research on this subject
It would seem that we are burdened with the laws of physics and a poor dra racing rear suspension
To improve a loosing battle I am trying stiffer rear springs with more bump dampning and also more rebound dampning on the front
I will report how it does

By ratcheting the front down I mean using a ratching tie down and compressing the suspension before the launch. It will lower the front of the car slightly making it want to lift less. Its not a good way to do it but it might help. My front right now is lifting enough to actually leave rubber chunks all of the front fenderwells from the fronts spinning.
