Thanks Karl

So what does it do to the handling?

it reduces squat and lets the rear end float better.

As Jay said. It in turn generates more rear traction and reduces mid corner rotation, resulting in a more stable car. I sometimes remove them when the car pushes in tight bends.

Might not be needed for Teesside National then.

I did a bit of testing on this layout a few weeks ago, and no, I didn't use them.

Not having driven since Sept 2011, I got a Mardave round in 18.9 something. Put the 12th down for two packs and did a 14.99 in blinky. Should do better with 12th on Sat & Sun I hope.

Carbon vrx

I have found that not running the top plate and no damper tube worked best for my two.

Running very small contact 50's pink med on the back suits one and ufra 48's very small and pink med on the back.

The 50's car runs a skyline shell
the ufra 48 is a 205 shell.
