can someone explain this one (again) in simple terms as I can't see the weight transfer being all that significant part when related to the total machine mass. Surely its 5% tops?? if so, why all the fuss about it?
Thanks.

cheers folkes. Mucho appreciated. Looks like my 5% thought was wrong. Well, glad to be proved wrong in such an interesting way. Replies with no squabbling. So harder rear springs, and ditching some weight in the back REALLY would help? along with grippier tyres?

This is thread revival, but I've been messing with model cars for ages and was looking up stuff about fwd!

Anyone got info about anti lift kits? I was trying to build something that gets closer to the road when powered.
I think front lca pivot lower than rear pivot would do this? on paper it looks like it but there are people saving the opposite!!!
