Weight Transfer

[unreal808]

from what I understand, if the rear axl is solid the hole time, you could lose control you need some suspension, so make somthing that releases after the most weight transfer. you would not want to flip over right. :rally:

Wheelie bars.
I like this idea better ;).

Wheelie bars with hydraulic actuators for adjustable height on the fly. And a large set of airfoils in front of the car to keep the nose down at speed.

Coilovers or spring-blocks. I don't see wheelie bars being truely effective on FWD unless they are actually holding tension against the ground. When I ran at the track, I found my best settings on my AGX shocks were 8 (full hard) in the rear, and 3 (1-4, 4 being hardest) up front. I always had my coilovers set with a slight tilt forward to keep weight over the front tires.

My 60's were generally right around 2.3 or so, mostly due to no traction. 17's are no good for drag-racing. Launching wasn't my strong-point either....very inconsisent.

Yea, you never see any of the full drag race FWDs with wheelie bars on them. :)

the hardest part is that actually i don't want to mess up the body in order to run the wheelie bars.. i would hate to have to take the bumper and all that stuff off every time. but if i have to i supose i will..

Check out Smithoid's car. He has 2 round holes in the back bumper to mount his wheelie bars. It is not very noticeable at all, especially on a black car. Bagging it would be the easiest to do and could be used on the street too.
