You should only be lifting slightly if you are starting to understeer to shift weight to the front to get the front tires to grab.

How much do you lift?

 

Should handle more or less the same with either tire, just higher limits with the Dunlops.


Agreed. If it's a long turn, I'm assuming it's high-speed. It should take a VERY small amount of modulation. That goes for any turn, just gotta be extra mindful when doing 90+ LOL.
My next setup will be opposite: over steer on entry and then modulate coming out, on the edge of over steer, not under. Should be fun and quite a bit faster

 

This is an Evo though. I don't know how close the suspension on a ranger is to an Evo especially stock for stock or even lowered to the point that that adding the RCK even matters. I'll be honest in that I've had the part for years and tracked on it and it didn't make as much a noticeable change in the dynamics of the car as say a larger rear sway or stiffer rear springs.

 

The dunlops do change it because they have more grip at the limit, and provide more grip once they go past the limit, or if they're spinning. So if one end of the car gets pushed to far, their is still more grip.



I slowly roll out until the front comes back to me. The rear diff seems to work better every time I change the fluid (been changing it every 500 miles since its new). Hopefully with one more fluid change all of the moly assembly lube TRE uses will be flushed out and it will grab even better. The car is starting to do what kaj is shooting for, but its very planted on entry.

 

chassis dynamics are chassis dynamics. I noticed a decent difference with the RCK in my evo. Well worth the couple hundred dollars. Its all about creating a combination. Every part adds a little bit to the car. And every bit counts.

 

as you mention below: chassis dynamics is chassis dynamics. a stickier tire isn't going to change the balance of the car. if you understeer on street tires, you will understeer on rcomps, it will just take more to push. you are better off getting the car to handle how you want first, but tossing on sticky tires is a workable band aid LOL.
for example, i just drove an enduro event in a stock-suspension Evo with a RSB, my re-stacked diff, and Hoosiers. the tires did a lot to hide the weaknesses of the suspension setup. at the end of the day, they were overworked, which is to be expected.. but they enabled us to have two of the three fastest times of the day. had the issues been sorted out beforehand, not only would we have been faster, but the tires wouldn't have been so beat up. just my two cents, though. i'm just making conversation because i'm home with a day off haha

 

I agree, it's more of a mask then a fix. The balance is still the same, the tire just expands the limit. Especially because the rcomps have more grip when pushed beyond their limit.

 

Understeer needs to be fixed with stiffer springs, rear diff, and a good alignment. Kaj co-drove my car this weekend and yes it was fast, yes it was fun... But until my coilovers are installed and set up properly the car still will not handle like it is able to. This is what hard driving and stock springs looks like... With a6's

 

3 wheelin like a boss lol. my car doesn't quite pick the tire up.



Video, this is before it had the rear diff done..
